Answer 1

To determine if George has enough money for his purchases, we need to calculate the total cost of the movie and the food items.

1. Cost of the movie: $9.00
2. Cost of the pretzel: $2.65
3. Cost of the drink: $1.35
4. Cost of two veggie cups: 2 x $1.74 = $3.48

Now, let's sum these amounts:

• Total cost = Cost of the movie + Cost of the pretzel + Cost of the drink + Cost of two veggie cups
• Total cost = $9.00 + $2.65 + $1.35 + $3.48
• Total cost = $9.00 + $2.65 = $11.65
• Total cost = $11.65 + $1.35 = $13.00
• Total cost = $13.00 + $3.48 = $16.48

Now we can determine if George has enough money:

• George has $20.00.
• Total cost of purchases is $16.48.

Now, let's find out the change:

• Change = Amount George has - Total cost
• Change = $20.00 - $16.48 = $3.52

Since George has enough money for the purchases, the correct answer is:

Yes, his change is $3.52.
