1. Combine the cost of the sandwich and drink:

3.59 + 1.50 = 5.09

2. Multiply the combined cost by the number of friends:

5 \times 5.09

3. Alternatively, distribute the multiplication across each item:

5 \times 3.59 + 5 \times 1.50

Therefore, the answer is:

5 \times (3.59 + 1.50) = 5 \times 3.59 + 5 \times 1.50
