Question

What is the total cost of a $12.00 movie ticket, a $3.25 hot dog, a $2.50 soda, and a $4.75 box of popcorn, and can it be afforded with $25?

Answer 1

To find the total cost of the items, we need to add their individual prices together:

- Movie ticket: $12.00
- Hot dog: $3.25
- Soda: $2.50
- Box of popcorn: $4.75

Now, let's do the addition:

\[
12.00 + 3.25 + 2.50 + 4.75
\]

First, add the movie ticket and the hot dog:

\[
12.00 + 3.25 = 15.25
\]

Next, add the soda:

\[
15.25 + 2.50 = 17.75
\]

Finally, add the box of popcorn:

\[
17.75 + 4.75 = 22.50
\]

So, the total cost is $22.50.

Now, let's check if this amount can be afforded with $25:

\[
25.00 - 22.50 = 2.50
\]

You will have $2.50 remaining after spending $22.50.

Yes, the total cost can be afforded with $25.
