Answer:

$6.6

Explanation:

Given:

Abilene and her 4 friends want to share the cost of a meal equally.

They order 2 large pizzas and 5 small drinks.

They leave a tip of ​$5.50​

Menu says

Cost of large pizza = $10.00

Cost of small drink = ​$1.50

Question asked:

How much does each person​ pay?

Solution:

Cost of 1 large pizza = $10.00

Cost of 2 large pizzas = $10.00
* 2 = $20.00

Cost of 1 small drink = ​$1.50

Cost of 5 small drinks = ​$1.50
* 5 = $7.5

Total cost of meal = Cost of 2 large pizzas + Cost of 5 small drinks + Tip

= $20.00 + $7.5 + ​$5.50​

= $33

As cost of meal will be shared equally among five persons:-

Each person paid = Total cost of meal
/ 5

= $33
/ 5

= $6.6

Thus, each person​ paid $6.6
