Extra Credit Math Menu

Question

*Imagine you have $10 to spend in the food court. You need to choose 1 drink, 1 side, 1 entree, and 1 dessert. Your total can’t be over $10.00. Use the Math Menu posted on google classroom to decide which items you want to get. Add the totals up and solve how much you will be spending. If you go over $10.00 you will have to adjust your choices. Below you can type the 4 items you chose and the total!

Answer 1

Since I don’t have access to the specific Math Menu posted on Google Classroom, I can help you understand how to structure your choices generally.

Here's an example of how you can solve this problem:

Example Choices:

• Drink: $2.00
• Side: $1.50
• Entree: $5.00
• Dessert: $2.50

Calculating the Total:

• Total = Price of Drink + Price of Side + Price of Entree + Price of Dessert
• Total = $2.00 + $1.50 + $5.00 + $2.50 = $11.00

Adjusting Choices:

Since the total exceeds $10.00, you can try adjusting one or more of your choices.

New Example Choices:

• Drink: $1.50
• Side: $1.50
• Entree: $5.00
• Dessert: $1.00

New Total:

• Total = $1.50 + $1.50 + $5.00 + $1.00 = $9.00

Final Choices:

You can finalize your choices as follows:

• Drink: $1.50
• Side: $1.50
• Entree: $5.00
• Dessert: $1.00

Total Amount Spent:

• Total: $9.00

Feel free to adjust the example above with the actual prices from the Math Menu you have. Just ensure the final total is $10 or less!
