I have done   Dollar 10473 worth of shopping for a picnic involving 10 individualsand bill will be equally divided among these 10.Dollar 850 worth of wine was given by one of the persons and he wants to deduct this dollar 850 from his share that will be credited to me. How much does each person owe me?

To determine how much each person owes, let's break it down step-by-step:

1. **Total shopping cost** = \$10,473
2. **Number of individuals** = 10
3. **Wine cost (contributed by one person)** = \$850

### Step 1: Calculate each person's initial share
Without considering the wine, each person would normally pay an equal share of the total shopping cost.

\[
\text{Initial share per person} = \frac{\text{Total shopping cost}}{\text{Number of individuals}} = \frac{10,473}{10} = 1,047.30
\]

### Step 2: Adjust for the wine contribution
The person who contributed the \$850 worth of wine wants to deduct this amount from their share. Their final share will be:

\[
\text{Adjusted share for wine contributor} = 1,047.30 - 850 = 197.30
\]

### Step 3: Redistribute the \$850 credit
Since the \$850 will be credited to you (instead of being evenly distributed), the other 9 people will still pay their original share of \$1,047.30, while the person who contributed the wine pays \$197.30.

Thus, the total amount the other 9 people owe is:

\[
9 \times 1,047.30 = 9,425.70
\]

Plus the \$197.30 paid by the wine contributor:

\[
9,425.70 + 197.30 = 9,623
\]

So, the remaining balance, which you are owed from the wine contributor’s \$850 credit, is:

\[
10,473 - 9,623 = 850
\]

### Final amounts:
- The 9 individuals each owe you **\$1,047.30**.
- The person who contributed the wine owes you **\$197.30**.
