Answer 1

First, let's calculate the total cost of George's purchases.

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 × $1.74 = $3.48

Now, add these amounts together:

\[ Total\ Cost = 9.00 + 2.65 + 1.35 + 3.48 \]

Calculating step by step:

• First, add the costs of the movie, the pretzel, and the drink:

\[ 9.00 + 2.65 + 1.35 = 13.00 \]

• Now, add the cost of the two veggie cups:

\[ 13.00 + 3.48 = 16.48 \]

Now we have the total cost:

\[ Total\ Cost = 16.48 \]

George has $20.00, so now we calculate his change after making the purchases:

\[ Change = 20.00 - 16.48 = 3.52 \]

Therefore, George has enough money to make the purchases, and his change will be $3.52.

The answer is: Yes, his change is $3.52.
