To find the mean amount spent on lunch, you first add up all of the amounts spent and then divide by the number of people.

$12.00 + $8.00 + $11.25 + $7.75 + $9.25 + $11.25 + $10.75 + $9.75 = $80.00

$80.00 divided by 8 people = $10.00

Therefore, the mean amount spent on lunch is $10.00. The answer is B. $10.00.
