Answer:
C represents the cost of everything. C includes the cost of the food and the reservation. The equation: 4c = 42 + 27.68 represents this situation because it shows that 4 friends split the cost equally (4c) and shows the cost of everything (42 + 27.68) When solved C should equal 17.42

I believe this is correct so Hope this helped.
