Studdy Solution

STEP 1

1. Each main course costs £11.75 £11.75 .
2. Each dessert costs £6.50 £6.50 .
3. 23 people ordered a main course.
4. 19 people ordered a dessert.
5. We need to calculate the total cost for all main courses and desserts ordered.

STEP 2

1. Calculate the total cost for main courses.
2. Calculate the total cost for desserts.
3. Add the total costs of main courses and desserts.

STEP 3

Calculate the total cost for the main courses by multiplying the number of main courses ordered by the cost per main course.
Total cost for main courses=23×£11.75\text{Total cost for main courses} = 23 \times £11.75

STEP 4

Perform the multiplication to find the total cost for the main courses.
23×11.75=270.2523 \times 11.75 = 270.25

STEP 5

Calculate the total cost for the desserts by multiplying the number of desserts ordered by the cost per dessert.
Total cost for desserts=19×£6.50\text{Total cost for desserts} = 19 \times £6.50

STEP 6

Perform the multiplication to find the total cost for the desserts.
19×6.50=123.5019 \times 6.50 = 123.50

STEP 7

Add the total costs of the main courses and desserts to find the overall total cost.
Total cost=270.25+123.50\text{Total cost} = 270.25 + 123.50

STEP 8

Perform the addition to find the total amount paid.
270.25+123.50=393.75270.25 + 123.50 = 393.75
The total amount paid by the group is:
£393.75\boxed{£393.75}
