Let’s solve this step by step.
We are given a price list for sandwiches and drinks at “Steve’s Sandwiches and Taxes” (yes, that’s the name!).
Price List:
Sandwiches:
- Turkey Club — $5.00
- Ham & Cheese — $4.75
- Veggie Delight — $4.25

- Grilled Cheese — $3.75
Drinks:
- Small Soda — $1.25
- Medium Soda — $1.50
- Large Soda — $1.75
- Bottled Water — $1.00
- Lemonade — $1.25
Now we go question by question.

Question 1: If you buy one Turkey Club and one Large Soda, what is the total cost?
Turkey Club = $5.00
Large Soda = $1.75
Total = 5.00 + 1.75 =
$6.75
✔ Check: 5 + 1.75 → yes, 6.75
---
Question 2: What is the difference in price between a Ham & Cheese sandwich and a Veggie Delight?
Ham & Cheese = $4.75
Veggie Delight = $4.25
Difference = 4.75 - 4.25 =
$0.50
✔ Check: 4.75 minus 4.25 → 0.50 → correct
---
Question 3: How much would it cost to buy two BLTs and one Bottled Water?
One BLT = $4.50 → Two BLTs = 4.50 × 2 = $9.00
Bottled Water = $1.00
Total = 9.00 + 1.00 =
$10.00
✔ Check: 4.50 + 4.50 = 9.00; 9.00 + 1.00 = 10.00 → correct
---
Question 4: You have $10.00. Can you afford one Grilled Cheese, one Medium Soda, and one Lemonade? Show your work.
Grilled Cheese = $3.75
Medium Soda = $1.50
Lemonade = $1.25
Total = 3.75 + 1.50 + 1.25
Let’s add step by step:
3.75 + 1.50 = 5.25
5.25 + 1.25 = 6.50
Total =
$6.50
You have $10.00 → 10.00 > 6.50 → YES, you can afford it.
✔ Check: All prices added correctly → 6.50 < 10.00 → yes
---
Question 5: If you buy three Veggie Delights and pay with a $20 bill, how much change will you get back?
One Veggie Delight = $4.25
Three = 4.25 × 3
Calculate:
4.25 × 3 = (4 × 3) + (0.25 × 3) = 12 + 0.75 =
$12.75
Paid with $20.00
Change = 20.00 - 12.75 =
$7.25
✔ Check: 20.00 - 12.75 → 7.25 → correct
---
Question 6: Which costs more: two Turkey Clubs or four Grilled Cheeses? By how much?
Two Turkey Clubs: 5.00 × 2 =
$10.00
Four Grilled Cheeses: 3.75 × 4
Calculate 3.75 × 4:
3 × 4 = 12
0.75 × 4 = 3.00
Total = 12 + 3 =
$15.00
So four Grilled Cheeses cost more.
Difference = 15.00 - 10.00 =
$5.00
✔ Check: 3.75 × 4 → 15.00 → yes; 15 - 10 = 5 → correct
---
Question 7: You want to buy one of each sandwich. What is the total cost?
Add all sandwich prices:
Turkey Club: $5.00
Ham & Cheese: $4.75
Veggie Delight: $4.25
BLT: $4.50
Grilled Cheese: $3.75
Add them step by step:
Start with 5.00 + 4.75 = 9.75
9.75 + 4.25 = 14.00
14.00 + 4.50 = 18.50
18.50 + 3.75 = 22.25
Total =
$22.25
✔ Check: Let’s group decimals:
Dollars: 5 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 3 = 20
Cents: 0 + 75 + 25 + 50 + 75 = 225 cents = $2.25
Total: 20 + 2.25 = $22.25 → correct
---
Question 8: If you buy two Medium Sodas and one Large Soda, what is the total drink cost?
Medium Soda = $1.50 → Two = 1.50 × 2 = $3.00
Large Soda = $1.75
Total = 3.00 + 1.75 =
$4.75
✔ Check: 1.50 + 1.50 = 3.00; 3.00 + 1.75 = 4.75 → correct
---
Final Answer:
1. $6.75
