Answer 1

To determine if George has enough money, we need to calculate the total cost of the movie and the food:

1. **Cost of the movie:** $9.00
2. **Cost of the pretzel:** $2.65
3. **Cost of the drink:** $1.35
4. **Cost of one veggie cup:** $1.74
5. **Cost of two veggie cups:** \( 2 \times 1.74 = 3.48 \)

Now we will add these amounts together:

\[
\text{Total cost} = 9.00 + 2.65 + 1.35 + 3.48
\]

Calculating step-by-step:

- \( 9.00 + 2.65 = 11.65 \)
- \( 11.65 + 1.35 = 13.00 \)
- \( 13.00 + 3.48 = 16.48 \)

The total cost is $16.48.

Now we subtract this total from George's total amount of money:

\[
\text{Change} = 20.00 - 16.48 = 3.52
\]

Since George has $20, and the total cost is $16.48, he does have enough money. His change will be $3.52.

Therefore, the correct response is:

**Yes, his change is $3.52.**
