$8.92

Answer 1

To find out how much each person owes, we first need to calculate the total cost of the food ordered.

1. Cost of pizzas:
   2 large cheese pizzas at $10 each:
   \( 2 \times 10 = 20 \)

2. Cost of wings:
   \( 18.99 \)

3. Cost of breadsticks:
   \( 5.59 \)

Now, we sum all these amounts:

\[ \text{Total cost} = \text{Cost of pizzas} + \text{Cost of wings} + \text{Cost of breadsticks} \]

\[ \text{Total cost} = 20 + 18.99 + 5.59 = 44.58 \]

Now, we will divide the total cost by the number of friends:

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

Calculating that gives:

\[ \text{Amount each person owes} = 8.916 \]

Rounding to the nearest hundredth:

\[ \text{Amount each person owes} \approx 8.92 \]

So, each friend owes $8.92.
