Question

Tom and Jerry were at a State Fair. They each got a ticket for the Merry Go Round. Tom got a funnel cake, and Jerry got a churro. Tom had a certificate for $5 off the cost. Jerry paid the rest, which came to $10. Each Merry Go Round ticket was $4, and a funnel cake was $2.25. What was the cost for churro?

O $4.75
O $2.25
O $5.50
O $3.75

Answer 1

The cost for a Merry Go Round ticket is $4 and the cost for a funnel cake is $2.25. Since Tom had a certificate for $5 off, he only needed to pay the difference, which is $4 - $5 = -$1. This means that Tom actually received $1 in return.

If Jerry paid the rest of the cost, which was $10, and Tom received $1 in return, then the total cost for the churro was $10 - $1 = $<<10-1=9>>9.

Therefore, the cost for the churro was $9.
O $9
