Final answer:

The price of food for each person is $50.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the price of food for each person, we need to subtract the cost of the drinks from the total bill of $62. Since each person ordered a drink for $3, the total cost of the drinks is $12 (4 people x $3). Therefore, the cost of the food for each person is $62 - $12 = $50.
