You and a friend both would like a salad and a small drink. Between the two of you, you have $8.00. A salad costs $2.49 and a small drink is $0.99. Can either of you have a second salad or a drink? Assume there is no sales tax.

1 answer

Let's calculate the cost of one salad and one small drink first:

Salad = $2.49
Small drink = $0.99

Total cost for one salad and one small drink = $2.49 + $0.99 = $3.48

Since you and your friend have a total of $8.00, you can subtract the cost of one salad and one small drink from the total amount:

$8.00 - $3.48 = $4.52

This remaining amount, $4.52, is not enough to buy another salad or drink. Therefore, the answer is No, you cannot have a second salad or a drink.
