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. (Round to the nearest hundredth) (1 point) Responses $6.92 $6.92 $8.92 $8.92 $34.58 $34.58 $44.58

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

  1. Cost of the pizzas:

    • Two large cheese pizzas at $10 each: \[ 2 \times 10 = 20 \]
  2. Cost of the wings: \[ 18.99 \]

  3. Cost of the breadsticks: \[ 5.59 \]

Now, let's sum these amounts to find the total bill: \[ \text{Total} = 20 + 18.99 + 5.59 \]

Calculating this step by step: \[ 20 + 18.99 = 38.99 \] \[ 38.99 + 5.59 = 44.58 \]

The total bill is $44.58.

Now, to find out how much each of the five friends owes, we divide the total bill by the number of friends: \[ \text{Amount per person} = \frac{44.58}{5} \]

Calculating this: \[ \frac{44.58}{5} = 8.916 \]

Rounding this to the nearest hundredth: \[ 8.92 \]

Thus, each person owes $8.92.
