Answer: D

Solution:

The total she spent on lunch for the 5 days is:

5.43 + 3.54 x 2 + 7.89 = $20.40

Therefore, the average amount of money she spent on lunch per day is:

20.40/5 = $4.08

Answer: D

Source: GMAT Prep
On Monday and Thursday, she spent $5.43 TOTAL
So, our running total = $5.43

On Tuesday and Wednesday, she spent $3.54 on each day
Running total = $5.43 + $3.54 + $3.54

On Friday, she spent $7.89 on lunch.
Running total = $5.43 + $3.54 + $3.54 + $7.89 = $20.40

What was her average daily cost?
The average cost over the 5 days = (total amount spent)/5
= $20.40/5
= $4.08

Answer: D
