magazine for $4.25. Daniel bought a notebook for $3.75 and a pen for $1.50. How much
money did they spend in total?

Answer 1

Jasmine spent $8.50 + $4.25 = $<<8.50+4.25=12.75>>12.75.
Daniel spent $3.75 + $1.50 = $<<3.75+1.5=5.25>>5.25.
They spent a total of $12.75 + $5.25 = $<<12.75+5.25=18>>18. Answer: \boxed{18}.
