£87.00
Emily's dad pays 3 parts of the meal
Divide £52.20 by 3 to find one part of the ratio
[tex]\frac{52.20}{3}[/tex] = £17.40 ← 1 part of the ratio
2 parts = 2 × £17.40 = £34.80 ← Emily's share
total cost = £52.20 + £34.80 = £87.00
Answer: The total cost of the meal is $87.
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we have given that
Ratio of cost of meal shared by Emily and her dad is 2:3
Cost of meal shared by Emily be 2x
Cost of meal shared by her dad be 3x
Cost paid by her dad = $52.20
So, Total cost will be
[tex]\dfrac{3x}{5}=\$52.20\\\\x=\dfrac{52.20\times 5}{3}\\\\x=\$87[/tex]
Hence, the total cost of the meal is $87.
