Answer:

$7.62

Explanation:

Total money spent = $15.24

Number of people who went to lunch = 2

If both Earle and his brother ordered the same meal, it means that the same amount of money was spent on each.

Next, with the above statement, you will divide the $15.24 in equal proportion such that the cost of each person's meal is the same;

= 15.24 / 2 = 7.62

Therefore, each person's lunch was $7.62
