(The answer is not 16)

Answer 1

If each box of raisins costs $1.50 and there are 5 people (you and 4 friends) buying a box, the total cost for the raisins will be:

\[ 5 \times 1.50 = 7.50 \]

Now, subtract the total cost of the raisins from your budget of $25:

\[ 25 - 7.50 = 17.50 \]

This remaining amount is $17.50, which needs to be divided among the 5 people for popcorn and drinks:

\[ \frac{17.50}{5} = 3.50 \]

So, the amount of money that remains per person for popcorn and a drink is:

\[ \boxed{3.50} \]
