The total cost for Tom's ticket, funnel cake, and $5 off certificate is 4 + 2.25 - 5 = 1.25.
Since Jerry paid the remaining $10, the cost of the churro is $10 - $1.25 = $8.75.
Therefore, the cost for the churro is $8.75.

Since Tom had a $5 off certificate, the total cost for his ticket and funnel cake would be 4 + 2.25 - 5 = 1.25.
Since Jerry paid $10 for his ticket, churro, and Tom's remaining cost, the cost of the churro would be $10 - $1.25 = $8.75.
Therefore, the cost for the churro would be $8.75.
To find the cost of the churro, let's first calculate the total cost for Tom's items.
Tom's Merry Go Round ticket cost $4 and the funnel cake cost $2.25.
So, the total cost for Tom's items without the $5 discount certificate is $4 + $2.25 = $6.25.
However, since Tom had a $5 off certificate, the final cost for Tom's items is $6.25 - $5 = $1.25.
Since Jerry paid the remaining $10, we can subtract the cost of Tom's items from $10 to find the cost of the churro.
$10 - $1.25 = $8.75
Therefore, the cost of the churro is $8.75.
So, the correct answer is $8.75.
To find the cost of the churro, we need to add up the prices for the merry-go-round ticket and the funnel cake, subtract the $5 certificate discount, and then subtract that total from the amount Jerry paid.
First, let's calculate the total cost of Tom's items. Tom's merry-go-round ticket is $4, and his funnel cake is $2.25. Adding those together gives us $6.25.
Next, we subtract the $5 discount from the total cost of Tom's items to find out how much he paid. $6.25 - $5 = $1.25. So, Tom paid $1.25.
Since Jerry paid the rest, which came to $10, we subtract what Tom paid from the total amount Jerry paid to find the cost of the churro. $10 - $1.25 = $8.75.
Therefore, the cost of the churro is $8.75.
So the correct answer is: $8.75.
