Question

Gerry spends $1.25 each day on lunch at school. On Fridays, she buys an extra snack for $0.55. How much money will she spend in two weeks?

Answer 1

$13.60

Explanation:

First let's find how much Gerry spends on lunch in 2 weeks (assuming she goes to school 5 days a week):

$1.25*10=$12.50

Now we find out how much she pays for the extra snack. Since in 2 weeks there are 2 Fridays then:

0.55*2=$1.10

Then we add these two together to get:

$12.50+$1.10=$13.60
