Question

Five friends order food and want to split the bill. They order two large cheese pizzas

for $10 each, wings for $18.99, and breadsticks for $5.59. Determine how much each
person owes.

Answer 1

$8.92 each

Explanation:

1. The pizzas cost $10 x 2 = $20
2. The wings cost $18.99
3. The breadsticks cost $5.59
4. When you add all of these together, you get $20 + $18.99 + $5.59 = $44.58.
5. To spilt the bill, you need to divide the cost equally between the 5 friends which is $8.916. You cannot pay 0.916 of a dollar so you round the bill to the nearest two decimal places.
