Question

You and a friend went to the movies. You decide to get some snacks. You got 2 boxes of candy that cost $3.49 for each box. You also purchased a soda for $4.82. Your friend wants to share and split the cost ($5.50) of a large popcorn. How much did you spend on your snacks all together

Answer 1

$14.55

Explanation:

It says you bought 2 boxes of candy, each costing $3.49.

2 * $3.49 = $6.98

You also bought 1 soda, costing $4.82.

$6.98 + $4.82 = $11.80

Lastly, you bought a large popcorn, costing $5.50, but you split the cost with your friend, so you only paid half.

$5.50 / 2 = $2.75

$11.80 + $2.75 = $14.55

Answer 2

$14.55
You need to add up all of the costs of the items you purchased.
First, you multiply $3.49 x 2 then you add $4.82 for the soda. Because your friend split the cost of the popcorn, you divide $5.50 in half to get $2.75. Add all of these up to get $14.55.
