Question

Parvati goes to the movies with $16 in her wallet. She buys

a ticket for $6.25 and two snacks for $2.25 each. How
much money does she have left?
Select the correct expression.
OA. 16-6.25-2-2.25
OB. 16-(6.25 +2.2.25)
O C. 16-2(6.25 +2.25)
OD. 16-6.25 +2.2.25

Answer 1

`16-(6.25+2*2.25)`

Explanation:

To find the amount of money she has left, you want to subtract the price of the ticket and the price of the two snacks from the amount of money she starts with.

So we want to subtract 6.25 once and subtract 2.25 twice (because she bought two snacks) from 16

16-6.25-2*2.25

Or you can also do this by adding up the monetary value of the ticket and the snacks and subtract that from the initial amount of money that Parvati has

16-(6.25+2*2.25)

(I am assuming that the "2.2.25" is supposed to say
`2*2.25`)
