Problem 1: Nathan purchased one of everything on the menu. How much money did he spend?

Add all the prices:

2.75 (hot dog)
+ 2.50 (popcorn)
+ 2.25 (soda)
+ 3.55 (pizza slice)
+ 4.25 (nachos)
+ 1.50 (skittles)
= ?

Let’s add step by step:

2.75 + 2.50 = 5.25
5.25 + 2.25 = 7.50
7.50 + 3.55 = 11.05
11.05 + 4.25 = 15.30
15.30 + 1.50 = 16.80

Answer: 16.80

Problem 2: George wants to purchase a hot dog, soda and nachos. He has $8.00. How much more money does he need?

First, add the cost of those three items:

hot dog: 2.75
soda: 2.25
nachos: 4.25

2.75 + 2.25 = 5.00
5.00 + 4.25 = 9.25

He has $8.00, so he needs:

9.25 - 8.00 = 1.25

Answer: 1.25

Problem 3: Blaise’s bill was $16.25. He gave the cashier $50.00. What was his change?

Subtract the bill from what he gave:

50.00 - 16.25 = 33.75

Answer: 33.75

---

Problem 4: I gave the cashier $10.00 and received $3.70 change.

(a) What was my bill?

Bill = Amount given - Change received
10.00 - 3.70 = 6.30

(b) Which two items did I purchase?

We need two items that add up to 6.30.

Check combinations:

- hot dog (2.75) + nachos (4.25) = 7.00 → too high
- hot dog (2.75) + pizza slice (3.55) = 6.30
- popcorn (2.50) + nachos (4.25) = 6.75 → too high
- soda (2.25) + nachos (4.25) = 6.50 → too high
- skittles (1.50) + nachos (4.25) = 5.75 → too low
- popcorn (2.50) + pizza slice (3.55) = 6.05 → close but not exact
- soda (2.25) + pizza slice (3.55) = 5.80 → too low
- hot dog (2.75) + popcorn (2.50) = 5.25 → too low

Only hot dog + pizza slice = 2.75 + 3.55 = 6.30

Answers:
(a) 6.30
(b) hot dog and pizza slice

Problem 5: What is the difference in cost between nachos and hot dog?

nachos: 4.25
hot dog: 2.75

Difference: 4.25 - 2.75 = 1.50

Answer: 1.50

Problem 6: If Chelsea buys 6 nachos and she gives the cashier $50.00, how much change should she receive?

One nacho = 4.25
Six nachos = 6 × 4.25

Calculate:
4.25 × 6 =
4 × 6 = 24
0.25 × 6 = 1.50
Total = 24 + 1.50 = 25.50

Change = 50.00 - 25.50 = 24.50

Answer: 24.50

Problem 7: Reshea has $0.60. How much more money does she need to purchase a slice of pizza?

Pizza slice = 3.55
She has 0.60

Needed: 3.55 - 0.60 = 2.95

Answer: 2.95

---

2. 1.25
3. 33.75
4. (a) 6.30 (b) hot dog and pizza slice
