First, let's calculate the total cost of the items George wants to purchase.
- Cost of the movie: $9.00
- Cost of the pretzel: $2.65
- Cost of the drink: $1.35
- Cost of two veggie cups: 2 * $1.74 = $3.48
Now, let's add all these costs together:
\[ \text{Total Cost} = 9.00 + 2.65 + 1.35 + 3.48 \]
Calculating step by step:
- First, add the movie and pretzel: \[ 9.00 + 2.65 = 11.65 \]
- Next, add the drink: \[ 11.65 + 1.35 = 13.00 \]
- Finally, add the two veggie cups: \[ 13.00 + 3.48 = 16.48 \]
So, the total cost is $16.48.
Now, let's determine if George has enough money:
\[ \text{George's amount} = 20.00 \] \[ \text{Total cost} = 16.48 \]
Since $20.00 is greater than $16.48, George can indeed make these purchases.
Now, let's calculate his change:
\[ \text{Change} = 20.00 - 16.48 = 3.52 \]
So the answer is:
Yes, his change is $3.52.
