Answer 1

$2.58

Explanation:

First, we should divide each number by 10 to get the amount per person we get...

10 cups

10 plates

20 balloons

Since the cost of cups, plates, and balloons is written as 100 of them, we just have to divide each of the by the amount we got after dividing by 10 and use that same amount and divide the money...

1. 10 cups is 1/10 of 100 cups so we divide $5.45 by 10 = .545

2. 10 plates is 1/10 of 100 plates so we divide $4.75 by 10 = .475

3. 20 balloons is 1/5 of 100 balloons so we divide $7.80 by 5 = 1.56

Now, we add them all up to get $2.58

Hope this Helps!!! :)
