1 answer

To calculate the total cost for Candice and her 4 friends at the carnival, we will break it down into parts:

  1. Entrance Ticket:

    • There are 5 people (Candice and her 4 friends).
    • Entrance ticket cost: $12
    • Total cost for entrance tickets: \[ 5 \text{ people} \times 12 \text{ dollars} = 60 \text{ dollars} \]
  2. Fried Oreos:

    • They bought 2 orders of fried Oreos.
    • Cost of one order of fried Oreos: $4.50
    • Total cost for fried Oreos: \[ 2 \text{ orders} \times 4.50 \text{ dollars} = 9 \text{ dollars} \]
  3. Beverages:

    • Each person bought their own beverage, and there are 5 people.
    • Cost of one beverage: $4.75
    • Total cost for beverages: \[ 5 \text{ people} \times 4.75 \text{ dollars} = 23.75 \text{ dollars} \]
  4. Total Cost:

    • Now, we will add all the costs together: \[ \text{Total Cost} = \text{Entrance Tickets} + \text{Fried Oreos} + \text{Beverages} \] \[ \text{Total Cost} = 60 \text{ dollars} + 9 \text{ dollars} + 23.75 \text{ dollars} = 92.75 \text{ dollars} \]

Therefore, the total cost for Candice and her friends at the carnival is $92.75.
