Answer:
$1.40 more
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's say:
A costs $z
and
B costs $y
A is more expensive than B. That means z is greater than y. When we will be asked to find HOW MUCH MORE A costs than B, we will have to subtract the smaller dollar value (which is y) FROM the larger dollar value (which is z).
So, we would say A costs more than B by ($z - $y).
Similarly, in this problem, see attached image, the HAM AND CHEESE costs MORE ($4.95) than the CHEESE ONLY ($3.55). How much more??
To find this, we subtract smaller value (3.55) from the larger value (4.95). Thus we have:
Ham and cheese omelet costs $1.40 more than cheese omelet.
