Customer Cal is one of Danny's regulars.He ate at the diner on Wednesday.He ordered the daily specialy,macaroni and cheese, for $2.95.He also ordered a milk shake that cost $1.25 and a piece of pie that cost $.95. Cal left the diner with $18.53 in his wallet.How much money did he have when he entered the diner?
$23.68?
I added 2.95 and 1.25 and got 4.20. Than I added .95 and 4.20 and got 5.15. Than I added 18.53 and 5.15 and got 23.68.
Is this right?
Right, again!
Ok,Thanks
You're welcome.
Yes, your calculations are correct. To find the total amount of money Cal had when he entered the diner, you need to add the cost of his food items to the amount of money he had left.
First, add the cost of the daily special ($2.95) to the cost of the milkshake ($1.25). This gives you a total of $4.20.
Next, add the cost of the pie ($0.95) to the previous total ($4.20). This gives you a new total of $5.15.
Finally, add the amount Cal had left ($18.53) to the new total ($5.15). This gives you the answer of $23.68.
Therefore, Cal had $23.68 when he entered the diner.
