Final answer:

To find the cost of each Healthy Snack Bag, we can set up an equation and solve for b. The equation is 4b + $27 = $37, and the cost of each bag is $2.50.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem, let's define the cost of each Healthy Snack Bag as b. Since each friend purchases a Healthy Snack Bag, the total cost of the bags will be 4b.

We are told that each ticket costs $6.75, so the total cost of the tickets will be 4 * $6.75 = $27.

Finally, we are given that the total amount spent by the friends is $37. Therefore, we can write the equation: 4b + $27 = $37.

To solve for b, we can subtract $27 from both sides of the equation: 4b = $37 - $27 = $10. Dividing both sides by 4, we find that b = $2.50.

Therefore, each Healthy Snack Bag cost $2.50.
