He buys 3 bags of potato chips for $1.

00 each so that’s 3 * 1 = $3.

00.

The chips are $3.

00, the creme fraiche is $5.

00 and the caviar is $73.

00 for a total of 3 + 5 + 73 = $81.

00.

The appetizer costs $81.

00 and will serve 3 people so it will cost 81 / 3 = $27.

00 per person.

The answer is 27
