Let's break down the expenses step by step:

  1. Entrance tickets:

    • There are 5 people (Candice and her 4 friends).
    • The cost for entrance tickets is $12 per person. \[ \text{Total for entrance tickets} = 5 \times 12 = 60.00 \]
  2. Fried Oreos:

    • They bought 2 orders of fried Oreos, and each order costs $4.50. \[ \text{Total for fried Oreos} = 2 \times 4.50 = 9.00 \]
  3. Beverages:

    • Each of the 5 people bought their own beverage, with each beverage costing $4.75. \[ \text{Total for beverages} = 5 \times 4.75 = 23.75 \]
  4. Total amount spent in all: \[ \text{Total spent} = \text{Total for entrance tickets} + \text{Total for fried Oreos} + \text{Total for beverages} \] \[ \text{Total spent} = 60.00 + 9.00 + 23.75 = 92.75 \]

Now we can summarize the expenses:

  • How much money was spent on the entrance tickets? $60.00
  • What was the total amount spent on the fried Oreos? $9.00
  • What was the total amount spent on the beverages? $23.75
  • How much money did they spend in all? $92.75
