Question

Amy and Mike are going to an amusement park. They each bought ice cream, and Mike got a soda. Amy had a $10 coupon to put toward the cost, and Mike paid the rest, which came to $30.25. Admission for one person costs $18.00, and ice cream costs $1.50. How much does a soda cost at the amusement park? **$1.25 $1.50 $0.75 $2.10

Answer 1

2(18) + 2(1.5) + soda = 10 + 30.25
solve for 'soda'

Answer 2

I dont understand

Answer 3

2(18) + 2(1.5) + soda = 10 + 30.25
2 people cost $18 each
2 ice creams cost $1.50 each

Total cost was Amy's $10 and Mike's $30.25

so, add up the food and subtract that from the total cost, and the soda is what's left.

Answer 4

2(18) + 2(1.5) + soda = 10 + 30.25
solve for 'soda'
====================================
36 + 3 + soda = 40.25

39 + soda = 40.25

soda = 1.25
