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.
