If you and 3 friends went out for dinner, and the bill was 85.36, how much does each person owe?

To determine how much each person owes, you need to divide the total bill by the number of people sharing it. In this case, the total bill is $85.36 and there are four people (you and three friends).

First, you perform the division:

85.36 divided by 4 equals 21.34.

This calculation reveals that each person would owe $21.34. This value makes sense in the context of the total bill, as splitting the cost evenly among all individuals should yield a result that is both reasonable and satisfies the overall total when multiplied back by the number of people.

Thus, the correct amount that each person owes is $21.34.
