Explanation:

The problem is about four people having lunch, each ordering a $3 drink, total payment for food and drinks is $62, and they want to find the price of food per person. Let's analyze the options:

• "Price of each drink": We know each drink is $3, so this is not what they want.
• "Total amount paid for food and drinks": We know it's $62, so this is not it.
• "Number of people in the group": We know there are 4 people, so this is not it.
• "Price of food per person": This is what they need to calculate (since total cost includes food for 4 people and drinks for 4 people, and they know total and drink price, they can find food price per person).

Answer:

Price of food per person
