spend in total?

Answer 1

Kourtney spent a total of $33.16 at the movies, calculated by adding together the cost of three drinks, one box of popcorn, and two boxes of candy.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate Kourtney's total expenses at the movies, we need to add the cost of the drinks, the popcorn, and the candy together. First, we find the total cost of the drinks by multiplying the price of one drink by the number of drinks bought: 3 drinks × $5.75 per drink. Secondly, we add the cost of the one box of popcorn. Lastly, we calculate the cost of the candy by multiplying the price of one box by the number of boxes bought: 2 boxes × $4.28 per box.

Calculating each part we get:

• Total cost of drinks: 3 × $5.75 = $17.25
• Total cost of popcorn: $7.35
• Total cost of candy: 2 × $4.28 = $8.56
  
  

Now we add these amounts together to find the total expense:

$17.25 (drinks) + $7.35 (popcorn) + $8.56 (candy) = $33.16

Therefore, Kourtney spent a total of $33.16 at the movies.
