PLEASE HELP

Tyler and his family had lunch at the museum cafeteria. Each person ordered a sandwich that cost the same amount, and they got $5 off their entire purchase with proof of admission to the special exhibit.if they paid a total of $35 after the discount, how much did each sandwich cost?

You must add back the 5 dollars to reflect the total cost of each raw sandwich. Then, divide that by the number of people in his family, which you didn't specify. Let's take the example there are five people, including Tyler. It would be 35+5=40. Then the 40/5 and each sandwich would be 8 dollars.
