Answer:

Each person owe $44.73

Step-by-step explanation:

Eight friends purchase various supplies from a camping trip and   share the total cost equally.

They spend $85.43 on food, $32.75 for water, and $239.66 on other items.

To find the total amount spent, add all the amounts

[tex]85.43 + 32.75+239.66=357.84[/tex]

Total cost = $357.84

This amount is shared by 8 friends, so we divide the total cost by 8

[tex]\frac{357.84}{8} =44.73[/tex]

Each person owe $44.73
