Let's break down the problem step by step.
Analyze
We need to determine the total amount of tickets spent by Lily and Max on their purchases.
- Lily bought cotton candy for 18 tickets.
- Max spent 24 tickets on a giant pretzel.
- Max also spent 9 tickets on a bag of candy.
- The cost of a soda is provided (13 tickets), but it is not specified if either of them bought one.
Plan
We need to calculate the total tickets spent by both Lily and Max from the information provided.
- Calculate the total tickets spent by Lily.
- Calculate the total tickets spent by Max.
- Sum the totals to get the overall expenditure.
Solve
-
Lily's expenditure:
- Tickets spent by Lily on cotton candy = 18 tickets
-
Max's expenditure:
- Tickets spent by Max on a giant pretzel = 24 tickets
- Tickets spent by Max on a bag of candy = 9 tickets
- Total tickets spent by Max = 24 + 9 = 33 tickets
-
Total expenditure by both:
- Total tickets = Lily's tickets + Max's tickets
- Total tickets = 18 + 33 = 51 tickets
Justify and Evaluate
- Lily spent a total of 18 tickets.
- Max spent a total of 33 tickets (24 on the pretzel and 9 on candy).
Adding these amounts together gives us a total of 51 tickets. This calculation confirms that we have tracked all purchases made by both individuals based on the information provided.
Conclusion
Lily and Max spent a total of 51 tickets in total.
