Question

Twenty students went to a fast food restaurant. Everyone ordered a hamburger and a drink. Hamburgers cost $3.25 each and drinks cost $1.15 each. How much did the students spend in all?

Answer 1

The total amount spent was $88.

Explanation:

The information provided is:

• Twenty students went to a fast food restaurant.
• Everyone ordered a hamburger and a drink.
• Hamburgers cost $3.25 each and drinks cost $1.15 each.

Compute the total cost as follows:

`\text{Total Cost}=\$3.25\cdot \text{No. of Hamburgers}+\$1.15\cdot \text{No. of Drinks}`

`=(\$3.25 * 20)+(\$1.15 * 20)\\\\=\$65+\$23\\\\=\$88`

Thus, the total amount spent was $88.
