five people split the following costs equally among themselves: $12.40, $10.95, $16.75, $6.10. How much did each person pay?

First, add up all of the costs: $12.40 + $10.95 + $16.75 + $6.10 = $46.20

Now, divide the total cost by the number of people (5): $46.20 / 5 = $9.24

Therefore, each person paid $9.24.
