Answer:

the amount paid by Sarah is $20.64

Explanation:

Given that

The total cost of the dinner is $61.92

And her friends pay 2 by 3

We need to find out the amount paid by Sarah

Since her friends pay 2 by 3 of the total cost

That means the remaining should be paid by Sarah i.e. 1 by 3

So, we need to multiply 1 by 3 with the total cost of the dinner i.e.

= 1 ÷3 × $61.92

= $20.64

Hence, the amount paid by Sarah is $20.64
