Answer:

$12.11

Explanation:

From the menu:

• The cost of a Sprite = $1.55

Since she initially has $10 and volunteers the remaining money to the others:

[tex]10-1.55=\$8.45[/tex]

Thus, the amount the other four sisters has in total will be:

[tex]4(10)+8.45=48.45[/tex]

An inequality for the scenario will be:

[tex]4x\le48.45[/tex]

We solve for x:

[tex]\begin{gathered} x\le\frac{48.45}{4} \\ x\le\$12.11 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Each of the other four sisters has at most $12.11 to spend.
