Answer 1

Answer:

Option A -  $ 40.00 - $9.50 - $4.25 - $5.00                          

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Tu went to the movies. he bought 2 tickets for $ 9.50 each, popcorn for $ 5.00, and 2 drinks for $ 4.25 each. He give the clerk two $ 20.00 bills.

To find : Which expression can not be used to find the amount of changes Tu got?

Solution :

He give the clerk two $ 20.00 bills i.e. $2\times 20$ or 40

He bought 2 tickets for $ 9.50 each i.e. $-(2\times 9.50)$ or -9.50-9.50

Popcorn for $ 5.00 i.e. $-5$

2 drinks for $ 4.25 each i.e. $-(2\times 4.25)$ or -4.35-4.25

The expression can not be used to find the amount of changes Tu got is

' $ 40.00 - $9.50 - $4.25 - $5.00'.

Therefore, option A is correct.
