The total bill at a restaurant was $72.75 and included a $16 tip for the server. What was the average spent per person prior to the tip if there were 5 people at the dinner?

$17.75 per person

Explanation: you would add the $16 to the 72.75 which would give you $88.75. Then you would divide that by 5 which would give you a total of 17.75 per person.
