You and your friends stop by the souvenir shop. You all decide to buy two postcards for $0.99 each, three keychains at $1.25 each, and four photo frames at $5.65 each. If you split the cost four ways, how much will each of you owe?(2 points)Responses$28.33$28.33$7.08$7.08$3.75$3.75$22.60

To calculate the total cost of the items purchased, we can break it down step by step.

  1. Postcards:
    Cost for 2 postcards = 2 * $0.99 = $1.98

  2. Keychains:
    Cost for 3 keychains = 3 * $1.25 = $3.75

  3. Photo frames:
    Cost for 4 photo frames = 4 * $5.65 = $22.60

Now, add all these costs together to find the total cost:

\[ \text{Total Cost} = \text{Cost of Postcards} + \text{Cost of Keychains} + \text{Cost of Photo Frames} \] \[ \text{Total Cost} = 1.98 + 3.75 + 22.60 = 28.33 \]

Now, split the total cost among 4 friends:

\[ \text{Cost per person} = \frac{\text{Total Cost}}{4} = \frac{28.33}{4} = 7.08 \]

Thus, each person will owe $7.08.
