Answer 1

Option A - $ 40.00 - $9.50 - $4.25 - $5.00

Explanation:

Given : Tu went to the movies. he bought 2 tickets for $ 9.50 each, popcorn for $ 5.00, and 2 drinks for $ 4.25 each. He give the clerk two $ 20.00 bills.

To find : Which expression can not be used to find the amount of changes Tu got?

Solution :

He give the clerk two $ 20.00 bills i.e.
`2* 20` or 40

He bought 2 tickets for $ 9.50 each i.e.
`-(2* 9.50)` or -9.50-9.50

Popcorn for $ 5.00 i.e.
`-5`

2 drinks for $ 4.25 each i.e.
`-(2* 4.25)` or -4.35-4.25

The expression can not be used to find the amount of changes Tu got is

' $ 40.00 - $9.50 - $4.25 - $5.00'.

Therefore, option A is correct.
