Answer 1

Violet's father gives her $20 to go to a basketball game with her friend. After buying a bottle of water for $2.75 and a ticket that costs six times the price of the bottle of water, Violet only has $0.75 left over, which is not enough to buy her friend a bottle of water.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can start by calculating the cost of the ticket to the basketball game. Since Violet's father gave her $20 and she bought a bottle of water for $2.75, she would have $20 - $2.75 = $17.25 left. Let's denote the cost of the ticket as x. According to the question, the ticket cost is six times the price of the bottle of water, so we have the equation x = 6 * $2.75.

Simplifying this equation, we find that x = $16.50. Therefore, the total cost of the ticket is $16.50. To find out if Violet has enough money left to buy her friend a bottle of water, we need to subtract the cost of the ticket from the amount she has left. So, $17.25 - $16.50 = $0.75. Therefore, Violet only has $0.75 left over, which is not enough to buy her friend a bottle of water.
