Question

Paul's mom gave him $25.00 on Monday morning to use on lunches. At his school, the school lunch costs $1.50, which he bought

Monday through Thursday. On Friday, he decided to buy 4 slices of pizza instead of buying the school lunch. If the pizza costs $1.60 per slice, then how much of the money is left at the end of the school week?
A. $18.80
B. $14.10
C. $12.60
D. $14.20

Answer 1

C. $12.60

Explanation:

he has $25.00 for the whole week

monday through thursday, or four days, he buys school lunch for $1.50

1.5 x 4 = 6

on friday, he buys 4 slices of pizza for $1.60 per slice

4 x 1.6 = 6.4

Expenses together:

6.4 + 6 = 12.4

Find what he has left:

25-12.4 = 12.6

C. $12.60
