1) The total cost of an order of french-fries and a milk shake is $1.40 + $2.00 = $3.40.
2) The total cost of an ice cream cone is $1.50.
3) Paul purchases an ice cream cone and a taco. The total cost is $1.50 + $3.60 = $5.10. If he pays $5.00, he will be short by $0.10, so he cannot buy both items with $5.00.
4) Jennifer purchases a taco, an ice cream cone, and a deluxe cheeseburger. The total cost is $3.60 + $1.50 + $2.60 = $7.70. If she pays $10.00, her change will be $10.00 - $7.70 = $2.30.
5) Brian wants to buy an ice cream cone. The cost is $1.50. He needs $1.50.
6) Audrey wants to buy a deluxe cheeseburger. The cost is $2.60. It will cost her $2.60.
7) If Adam wanted to buy a cola, it would cost $1.10.
8) Jackie purchases an ice cream cone. The cost is $1.50. If she had $10.00, she will have $10.00 - $1.50 = $8.50 left.
9) If Donald buys a cola, an order of french-fries, and a milk shake, the total cost is $1.10 + $1.40 + $2.00 = $4.50. If he pays $5.00, he will get back $5.00 - $4.50 = $0.50.
10) If David buys a taco, a cola, an order of french-fries, and a milk shake, the total cost is $3.60 + $1.10 + $1.40 + $2.00 = $8.10. If he pays $20.00, his change will be $20.00 - $8.10 = $11.90.
