You and a friend both would like a salad and a small drink. Between the two of you, you have $8.00. A salad costs $2.49 and a small drink is $0.99. Can either of you have a second salad or a drink?

Answer: Yes, the amount can buy either of them a second salad or a drink.

Explanation:

Since a salad cost $2.49 and a bottle of drink cost $0.99, therefore for both of them the total amount they need to spend is (2×$2.49)+(2×$0.99)

= $4.98+$1.98

= $6.96

This is the amount for both of them to get a first salad and a drink.

Since they both have $8.00 with them, their balance will be $8.00-$6.96 which is $1.04

The balance can buy one of them second drink then that is $0.99. So yes, the amount can buy either of them a second salad or a drink.
