The cost of dinner for Lauren and her 4 friends was $67.55.  How much did each person pay if they shared the cost equally.  

To find out how much each person paid if the cost of dinner was shared equally, divide the total cost by the number of people.

Given:
- Total cost = $67.55
- Number of people = Lauren + 4 friends = 5 people

\[
\text{Cost per person} = \frac{67.55}{5} = 13.51
\]

Each person paid $13.51.
