Agroup of 8 students purchase 4 pizzas at $5 each, 2 orders of breadsticks at $2 each, and 8 drinks at $1.50. how much does each student owe before tax? explain how u solved the problem

Igot $34 for my answer. first, multiply the amount of pizzas, (which is 4)by the cost of each pizza($5). you will get $20 for the cost of the 4 pizzas. then multiply the number of breadsticks (2) by the cost of each order of breadsticks ($2). you should get $4 for the cost of the two orders of breadsticks. then multiply the number of sodas(8) by the cost of each soda($1.50). you should get $12 for the cost of the 8 sodas. now add up the total costs of the 4 pizzas ($20), two orders of breadsticks ($2), and the 8 sodas ($12) to get $34. now divide 34 by 8 to get you answer, $4.25. therefore, each student owes $4.25 before tax
