Answer 1

Answer:

$21.25

Step-by-step explanation:

With these type of questions, I make a list on all the values I need to find.

-shoes

-5 bowling games

-2 nachos

-3 large sodas

Since we now have our list, we need to find how much these all cost using the chart.

Shoe rental is $2.75

1 bowling game is $2.5, so 5 of those would be 5 × 2.5, which is $12.5

1 nacho is $1.75, so 2 of those would be 2 × 1.75, which is $3.5

1 large soda is $1.5, so 3 of those would be 3 × 1.5, which is $4.5

Now, I would add these up, BUT, Jason has a coupon that takes 25% off all drinks and food.

So, we add the values of the food up, which is $3.5 + $4.5, which is $8.

25% is the same value as 1/4.

So, split 8 into 4 equal parts, which is 4 groups of 2. Take one out, (because we are taking away 25%), you are left with 8-2, which is 6.

Now, we have all our final values:

$2.75 + $12.5 + $6

If we add all those up, we will get $21.25

Therefore, Jason spent $21.25 on bowling
