Answer 1

Answer:

Elvira - $15.15

Miguel - $15.15

Stefan - $15.15

Anna - $20

Laura - $10

Step-by-step explanation:

Total - $75.45

Total people - Elvira, Miguel, Stefan, Anna and Laura (5)

Anna pays $20

Laura pays $10

5 - 2 = 3

3 people pay equally

$20 + $10 = $30

$75.45 - $30 = $45.45

$\frac{45.45}{3}$

$15.15 each
