Question

Mark spends $36 at a basketball game. He buys a T-shirt for $22. He then buys a bottle of water for $4 and 2 tacos. How much is each taco?

Answer 1

each taco is $7.

Explanation:

In total he spent $36. He bought a shirt for $22 and a bottle of water for $4.

22+4= 26

36-22= 14

14 divided by 2= 7

Answer 2

each taco is $5.

Explanation:

Let's think about like Mark starts off with $36. Take away $22 for that t-shirt he bought. Now he has $14. He uses $4 for water, now he has $10. The rest of his money is spent on tacos. $10/2 tacos is $5 for each taco. :)
