Answer 1

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

1. Cost of two large cheese pizzas:
   \( 2 \times 10 = 20 \) dollars

2. Cost of wings:
   \( 18.99 \) dollars

3. Cost of breadsticks:
   \( 5.59 \) dollars

Now, let's add these amounts together to get the total bill:

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

Now we need to split this total amount among the five friends:

\[ \text{Amount each person owes} = \frac{44.58}{5} = 8.916 \]

Rounding to the nearest hundredth, each person owes:

\[ 8.92 \text{ dollars} \]

Thus, the correct answer is:

$8.92
