A. $3.06
B. $1.60
C. $6.12
D. $1.94

Answer 1

Explanation:

First, we need to find the total cost of the candy bars by multiplying the number of candy bars by the price per candy bar: 3 candy bars * $0.84/candy bar = $3*0.84=2.52Next, we need to find the total cost of the sodas by multiplying the number of sodas by the price per soda: 2 sodas * $1.80/soda = $2*1.8=3.60Then, we need to add the cost of the candy bars and the sodas to find the total cost: $2.52 + $3.60 = $<<2.52+3.6=6.12>>6.12Since you are paying for half of the total cost, you need to pay half of $6.12, or $3.06.If you pay for your half with a five dollar bill, you will receive $5 - $3.06 = $5-3.06=1.94 in change. Answer: 1.94.

Answer 2

correct answer is D) $1.94.

Explanation:

To solve this problem, we first need to calculate the total cost of the candy bars and the sodas. The candy bars cost $0.84 each, so 3 candy bars cost 3*$0.84=$2.52. The sodas cost $1.80 each, so 2 sodas cost 2*$1.80=$3.60. The total cost of the candy bars and sodas is $2.52+$3.60=$6.12.

Since you are going to split the cost with your friend, you will pay for half, which is $6.12/2=$3.06. You pay for your half with a five dollar bill, so you will receive $5-$3.06=$1.94 in change.
