Each friend will contribute $19.00. I got this answer by getting the total cost of everything by adding: (35+4(4)+15+3(2)+4) = 76
After getting the total cost of everything ($76) I divided the total cost by 4 because 4 people will be contributing to the price. The final answer is $19 per person.
Hope this helps:)

The amount each will contribute towards the supplies is $19.
Given,
Four friends are planning a camping trip.
At one store, they buy a lantern for $35 and 4 batteries for $4 each.
At another store, they buy hamburgers that cost $15, three bags of chips that cost $2 per bag, and a bag of hamburger rolls for $4.
We need to find the amount each will contribute toward the supplies.
We have,
In one store, they buy a lantern for $35 and 4 batteries for $4 each.
1 battery = $4
4 battery = 4 x $4 = $16
The total cost of the first store:
= lantern + 4 batteries
= $35 + $16
= $51
We have,
At another store, they buy hamburgers that cost $15, three bags of chips that cost $2 per bag, and a bag of hamburger rolls for $4.
1 bag = $2
3 bags = 3 x $2
3 bags = $6
The total cost of the second store:
= hamburgers + three bags of chips + hamburger rolls
= $15 + $6 + $4
= $25
Total cost = cost of the first store + cost of the second store
= $51 + $25
= $76
The amount each will contribute:
= total cost / number of friends
= $76 / 4
= $19
Thus the amount each will contribute towards the supplies is $19.
