Answer:
$14.75 per person
Step-by-step explanation:
First, let's find the total amount she paid.
Add up everything she bought: $33 for food, $17 for soft drinks, $3 tax and $6 tip.
food+soft drinks+tax+tip
$33+$17+$3+$6
$59
She paid $59 for the entire lunch.
Now, let's find what she paid person.
To find what she paid per person, divide what she paid by the number of people.
amount paid/number of people
There are 4 people in all, because Mrs. Cats invited three of her friends (Mrs. Cats+3 friends=4 people). We just found out that she paid $59.
$59/4 people
Divide 59 by 4 (59/4=14.75)
$14.75 / person
She paid $14.75 per person.
