To find out how much money Emma had before she bought the salad and drink, we need to calculate the total cost of the salad and drink, and then add that to the amount she had left.
-
Calculate the total cost of the salad and drink:
- Salad: $4.75
- Drink: $1.65
Total cost = $4.75 + $1.65 = $6.40
-
Now, add the total cost to the amount she had left:
- Amount left: $18.35
- Total amount before purchase = Amount left + Total cost
- Total amount before purchase = $18.35 + $6.40 = $24.75
So, Emma had $24.75 before she bought the salad and drink.
The correct response is $24.75.
