Question

Yesterday, Consuela bought some fudge and caramels for $5.25. She bought 2 pieces of fudge at 50 cents a piece and some caramels at 25 cents each. She gave some caramels to her friend Carrie. Now she has 2 pieces of fudge and 10 caramels. If consuela did not eat any candy yet, how many caramels did Carrie receive?​

Answer 1

Answer: 7 caramels

Step-by-step explanation: So she had already used a dollar to buy 2 pieces of fudge because the fudge if 50 cents a piece. So now you multiply .25 times 17 and you get 4.25 and that was the rest of the money Consuela had left. So that means she gave Carrie 7 caramels because now she has 10 left.
