Four friends purchase a pineapple for $2.89 and 18.4 pounds of peaches. the peaches cost $1.75 per pound. the friends share the total cost equally. what amount does each person pay? a. 8.77 b. 9.31 c. 21.34 d. 35.09

First you calculate the total cost of the pears:
18,4 pounds x $1,75 = $32,2

Them you add the cost of the pineapple:
$32,2 + $2,89 = $35,09

After this you can divide the total cost (35,09) for 4 friends getting the amount due to each one:
35,09/4 = $8,77
