Let’s solve this step by step.
We have three columns of food items. For each column, we need to add up the prices of all the items shown in that column.
First, let’s list the prices from the top part of the worksheet:
- Cupcake: $1.20
- Cookie (with bite taken): $1.15
- Drink: $1.00
- Burger: $3.75
- Sandwich: $2.20
- Fries: $2.85
Now, let’s go column by column.
---
Column 1 (Left Column):
Items shown:
- 1 Cupcake → $1.20
- 1 Drink → $1.00
- 1 Burger → $3.75
- 1 Cookie → $1.15
- 1 Fries → $2.85
Add them up:
Start with $1.20 + $1.00 = $2.20
$2.20 + $3.75 = $5.95
$5.95 + $1.15 = $7.10
$7.10 + $2.85 = $9.95
✔ Column 1 Total:
$9.95
---
Column 2 (Middle Column):
Items shown:
- 1 Cookie → $1.15
- 1 Cupcake → $1.20
- 1 Drink → $1.00
- 1 Sandwich → $2.20
- 1 Burger → $3.75
- 1 Cookie → $1.15 (yes, there are two cookies!)
Wait — let’s count again carefully:
Looking at the middle column:
Top row: 1 cookie and 1 cupcake
Second row: 1 drink and 1 sandwich
Third row: 1 burger and 1 cookie
So that’s:
- 2 Cookies → $1.15 × 2 = $2.30
- 1 Cupcake → $1.20
- 1 Drink → $1.00
- 1 Sandwich → $2.20
- 1 Burger → $3.75
Now add:
$2.30 (cookies) + $1.20 = $3.50
$3.50 + $1.00 = $4.50
$4.50 + $2.20 = $6.70
$6.70 + $3.75 = $10.45
✔ Column 2 Total:
$10.45
---
Column 3 (Right Column):
Items shown:
- 1 Sandwich → $2.20
- 2 Fries → $2.85 × 2 = $5.70
- 2 Burgers → $3.75 × 2 = $7.50
Add them:
$2.20 + $5.70 = $7.90
$7.90 + $7.50 = $15.40
✔ Column 3 Total:
$15.40
---
Final Answer:
Column 1: $9.95
Column 2: $10.45
Column 3: $15.40
