Problem 1:
Fred paid $6.16 for bananas, $6.36 for apples, and $8.16 for grapes.
Add them:
6.16 + 6.36 = 12.52
12.52 + 8.16 = 20.68

✔ Total spent: $20.68

Problem 2:
Jacket: $11.53
Shirt: $5.80
Pants: $12.77
Add:
11.53 + 5.80 = 17.33
17.33 + 12.77 = 30.10

✔ Total spent on clothes: $30.10

Problem 3:
Viola: $133.32
Music stand: $6.24
Song book: $10.16
(Note: The $10.47 he found is not money he spent — it’s extra cash he had. So we ignore it for “how much did he spend”.)
Add:
133.32 + 6.24 = 139.56
139.56 + 10.16 = 149.72

✔ Total spent at music store: $149.72

Problem 4:
Racing game: $10.65
Strategy game: $9.68
Basketball game: $7.60
(He already owns 3 games — that doesn’t affect what he *spent* now.)
Add:
10.65 + 9.68 = 20.33
20.33 + 7.60 = 27.93

✔ Total spent on video games: $27.93

Problem 5:
4 packs of basketball cards at $4.81 each → 4 × 4.81
Let’s calculate:
4 × 4 = 16
4 × 0.81 = 3.24
So 16 + 3.24 = 19.24

Pokemon pack: $1.97
Digimon deck: $12.25
Now add all:
19.24 + 1.97 = 21.21
21.21 + 12.25 = 33.46

✔ Total spent on cards: $33.46

Problem 6:
Hotdog: $2.54
Fries: $1.98
Sandwich: $5.41
Add:
2.54 + 1.98 = 4.52
4.52 + 5.41 = 9.93

(The 20 dollar bill is how he paid — but the question asks for total lunch bill, which is just the sum of items.)

✔ Total lunch bill: $9.93

---

Problem 7:
Lizard toy: $8.94
Pet food: $5.78
Cage: $11.41
Add:
8.94 + 5.78 = 14.72
14.72 + 11.41 = 26.13

✔ Total cost: $26.13

Problem 8:
Speakers: $110.36
CD player: $113.22
New tires: $111.88
(She wanted CDs for $8.80 but didn’t buy them — so don’t include that.)
Add:
110.36 + 113.22 = 223.58
223.58 + 111.88 = 335.46

✔ Total spent: $335.46

Problem 9:
Two movie tickets at $10.50 each → 2 × 10.50 = 21.00
Rented movie: $3.75
Bought movie: $7.73
Add:
21.00 + 3.75 = 24.75
24.75 + 7.73 = 32.48

✔ Total spent on movies: $32.48

---

Problem 10:
Baseball: $11.19
Toy cars: $5.94
Toy trucks: $8.24
Shorts: $7.24 ← This is NOT a toy! Question asks: “How much did Dan spend on toys?” So we skip shorts.
Add only toys:
11.19 + 5.94 = 17.13
17.13 + 8.24 = 25.37

✔ Total spent on toys: $25.37
