Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

The Boulder family could order

1) 5 pretzel combos add up to $7.95 with $2.05 left to buy 2 churros or 1 yogurt.

I multiplied 1.59 x 5 and added 1.98. (1.59 x 5) + 1.98 or 1.50 for a total of $9.93 with the churros and $9.45 with the yogurt.

2) 3 pizza combos and 1 pretzels will be $8.46 with $1.54 left to buy 1 churro or yogurt.

I multiplied 2.49 x 3 and added 0.99. (2.49 x 3) + 0.99 + 0.99 or 1.50 for a total of $9.45 with the churro and $9.96 with the yogart.

3) 5 hot dog combos is exactly $8.50 with $1.50 left for 1 yogurt or churro.

I multiplied 1.70 x 5 if I add the churro on it will be $9.49 and exactly $10 if I the yogurt on.
