$44.58.

Answer 1

First, let's calculate the total cost of the food ordered by the five friends.

1. Cost of the pizzas:

   • 2 large cheese pizzas at $10 each = 2 * $10 = $20

2. Cost of wings:

   • Wings cost $18.99

3. Cost of breadsticks:

   • Breadsticks cost $5.59

Now, let's add up these amounts to get the total cost:

\[ \text{Total cost} = \text{Cost of pizzas} + \text{Cost of wings} + \text{Cost of breadsticks} \] \[ \text{Total cost} = 20 + 18.99 + 5.59 \] \[ \text{Total cost} = 44.58 \]

Next, to find out how much each person owes, we divide the total cost by the number of friends (5):

\[ \text{Amount each person owes} = \frac{\text{Total cost}}{\text{Number of friends}} \] \[ \text{Amount each person owes} = \frac{44.58}{5} \] \[ \text{Amount each person owes} = 8.916 \]

When rounded to the nearest hundredth, this amount is $8.92.

Thus, each person owes $8.92.
