Question

George has $20. He would like to know if he has enough money to see a movie ($9.00) and buy a pretzel ($2.65), a drink ($1.35), and two veggie cups ($1.74 each). Does George have enough money to make these purchases? If so, what is his change?
(1 point)
• No, he cannot make this purchase.
• Yes, his change is $3.52.
• Yes, his change is $5.26.
• Yes, his change is $16.48.

Answer 1

Let's calculate the total cost of the movie and the snacks:

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

Now, let's sum these costs:

\[
9.00 + 2.65 + 1.35 + 3.48 = 16.48
\]

Now, to determine if George has enough money, we subtract the total cost from the amount he has:

\[
20.00 - 16.48 = 3.52
\]

So, George can afford the purchases, and his change will be $3.52.

The correct answer is:
• Yes, his change is $3.52.
