Question

Michael ordered the food and drinks below for himself and three friends. •3 hot dogs for $2.99 each •3 bags of French fries for $1.99 each •2 hamburgers for $3.99 each •4 drinks for $0.79. Michael and his friends will share the total cost of the food and drink equally. What was the cost per person?

Answer 1

$6.52

Explanation:

1. The 4 four friends got three hot dogs for $2.99. Multiply 3 hot dogs by $2.99, which is $8.97
2. They also got 3 bags of french fries for $1.99. Multiply 3 bags of french fries by $1.99, which is $5.97.
3. Then, they decided to get 2 hamburgers for $3.99 each. Multiply 2 hamburgers by $3.99, which is $7.98
4. They wanted drinks to cool themselves off, so they got 4 drinks for $0.79. Multiply 4 drinks for $0.79, which is $3.16
5. Take all of the numbers that was calculated and add them up together ($8.97 + $5.97 + $7.98 + $3.16) and you will get $26.08 as the total.
6. They decided to split it equally, so take the $26.08 total and divide it by 4. You will get $6.52 per person.
