Question

Tucker earned $12.50 walking dogs on Saturday. On Sunday, he spent $6.95 when he purchased a movie ticket. He needed to borrow money from a friend to complete his purchase of a snack. How much money did Tucker pay for the snack if he owes his friend $5?

$5.55
$7.50
$10.55
$24.45

Answer 1

$10.55 , because he has $5.55 left after he bought the movie ticket . If the snack was only $5 , then he wouldn't need to borrow any money . So B would be wrong . You add the $5 dollars he owes the friend to the money he already has and you get $10.55

Answer 2

$ 10.55

Explanation:

Given,

The amount he earned by walking dog = $ 12.50,

His spending = $ 6.95,

So, the remaining amount = earning - spending

= 12.50 - 6.95

= $ 5.55

After borrowing $ 5,

Final amount he has = 5.55 + 5 = $ 10.55,

If he spent all the amount to pay for snacks,

Then the amount paid for snack would be $ 10.55.

Hence, THIRD OPTION is correct.
