the meal costs $52.95 for 5 people. Jenna ordered a dessert for $2.50. if Jenna deducts this amount from the total how much will each of the other people pay for their meal

Respuesta :

Subtract the dessert from the total:

52.95 - 2.50 = 50.45

Now divide that by the number of people:

50.45/5 = 10.09

Each person would pay $10.09

She would pay 10.09 + 2.50 = 12.59

52.95/5 = 10.59
2.50/5 = .50
All the others beside her will pay $10.09 for their meal.
