To find out how much Lia and James spent in total, we can break down their expenses:
-
Tickets for 2 people:
- Tickets: \(2 \times 3.00 = 6.00\)
-
Lia's popcorn and slushy:
- Popcorn and slushy: \(8.50\)
-
Slushy and nachos they bought together:
- Slushy and nachos: \(12.00\)
Now, we can add all these expenses together:
\[ \text{Total} = \text{Tickets} + \text{Lia's popcorn and slushy} + \text{Slushy and nachos} \] \[ \text{Total} = 6.00 + 8.50 + 12.00 \] \[ \text{Total} = 6.00 + 8.50 = 14.50 \] \[ \text{Total} = 14.50 + 12.00 = 26.50 \]
So, the total amount of money they spent together is $26.50.
