When the movie is half over, the price of popcorn is half of the full price.

Full price of popcorn = $3.50
Half price of popcorn = $3.50 / 2 = $1.75

The price of drinks is given as $1.35.

Now, to calculate the total cost for 3 orders of popcorn and 3 drinks:

Cost of 3 orders of popcorn: 3 orders × $1.75 = $5.25

Cost of 3 drinks: 3 drinks × $1.35 = $4.05

Now, we add these two amounts together: Total cost = Cost of popcorn + Cost of drinks Total cost = $5.25 + $4.05 = $9.30

Thus, the total cost for purchasing 3 orders of popcorn and 3 drinks when the movie is half over is 9.30.

George has $20. He would like to know if he has enough money to see a movie ($9.00) and buy a pretzel ($2.65), a drink ($1.35), and two veggie cups ($1.74 each). Does George have enough money to make these purchases? If so, what is his change? (1 point) Responses Yes, his change is $5.26. Yes, his change is $5.26. No, he cannot make this purchase. No, he cannot make this purchase. Yes, his change is $16.48. Yes, his change is $16.48. Yes, his change is $3.52.

Let's calculate the total cost of the items George wants to purchase:

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

Now, let's sum up the costs:

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

Now, let's check if George has enough money:

George has $20.00, and his total expenditure is $16.48.

To find out if he has enough money and how much change he will have:

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

So, George does have enough money to make the purchases, and his change will be $3.52.

Therefore, the correct response is: Yes, his change is $3.52.
