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? Assume there is no sales tax.
(1 point)
yes, one salad yes, one of each yes, one drink No, you cannot.
Let's calculate the cost of one salad and one small drink first:
Salad = $2.49
Small drink = $0.99
Total cost for one salad and one small drink = $2.49 + $0.99 = $3.48
Since you and your friend have a total of $8.00, you can subtract the cost of one salad and one small drink from the total amount:
$8.00 - $3.48 = $4.52
This remaining amount, $4.52, is not enough to buy another salad or drink. Therefore, the answer is No, you cannot have a second salad or a drink.
