Jake, Becky, and Max are meeting at Charley's Pizza for dinner and then plan to go to a movie. When they arrive at the pizza place, each one of them has a different coupon. They decide to use the coupon that will give them the best deal.
Jake's coupon is $19.99 for a pizza and pasta meal deal; Becky's coupon is for two large one-topping pizzas-each at
of the menu price; and Max's coupon is for three medium one-topping pizzas - each at

to the menu, a medium one-topping pizza is $8.99, and a large one-topping pizza is $14.89. They also spend $1.25 each
for sodas and $5.00 on the tip. At the movie theater, Max has a coupon that's good for off a third movie ticket when
you purchase two other movie tickets at the regular price. The regular price of each movie ticket is $9.80.
Although Jake, Becky, and Max plan to split the cost of the pizza and movie, they decide that with the coupons, it's just
easier if one of them pays at each place. So, the friends agree that Jake will pay for the pizza and Becky will pay for the
movies. At the end of the night, they'll figure out how much Max owes both Jake and Becky

After all costs are split evenly, how much will each person contribute?
