Question

FOOD Is $8 enough money to buy a dozen eggs for $1.29, one pound of ground beef for $3.99, and a gallon of milk for $2.09? Explain.

Answer 1

Yes, $8 is enough to buy a dozen eggs for $1.29, a pound of ground beef for $3.99, and a gallon of milk for $2.09, as the total cost is $7.37.

Step-by-step explanation:

The student asked if $8 is enough to buy a dozen eggs for $1.29, one pound of ground beef for $3.99, and a gallon of milk for $2.09. To answer this, we need to add up the prices of the items:

• 
  
• Dozen eggs: $1.29
• 
  
• Pound of ground beef: $3.99
• 
  
• Gallon of milk: $2.09

Adding these amounts gives us a total cost:

$1.29 + $3.99 + $2.09 = $7.37

Since $7.37 is less than $8.00, the answer is yes, the student has enough money to buy all three items with a little to spare.
