Answer 1

To find out how much money Emma had before she bought the salad and drink, we need to add the total amount she spent to the amount she had left.

1. Calculate the total cost of the salad and drink: \[ \text{Total cost} = \text{Cost of salad} + \text{Cost of drink} \] \[ \text{Total cost} = 4.75 + 1.65 = 6.40 \]

2. Add the total cost to the amount Emma had left: \[ \text{Amount before purchases} = \text{Amount left} + \text{Total cost} \] \[ \text{Amount before purchases} = 18.35 + 6.40 = 24.75 \]

Therefore, Emma had $24.75 before she bought the salad and drink.
