Your parent gives you $30 to go to the fair. You spend $10 on the gate fee to get into the fair and $12 on ride tickets. You want to buy a hotdog and drink which costs $8.85. Do you have enough money for the food and drink?
To determine if there is enough money for the food and drink, we need to add up all the expenses at the fair.
Gate fee: $10
Ride tickets: $12
Food and drink: $8.85
Total expenses: $10 + $12 + $8.85 = $30.85
We notice that the total expenses exceed the amount of money given, which is $30. Therefore, there is not enough money for the food and drink.
To determine if you have enough money for the food and drink, we need to calculate the total amount spent so far.
1. Subtract the gate fee from the initial amount given by your parent:
$30 - $10 = $20
2. Subtract the cost of ride tickets from the remaining amount:
$20 - $12 = $8
3. Finally, subtract the cost of the hotdog and drink from the remaining amount:
$8 - $8.85 = -$0.85
Based on the calculations, you do not have enough money for the food and drink.
To determine if you have enough money for the food and drink, let's calculate your total expenses and compare it to the $30 your parent gave you.
First, add up your expenses so far:
Gate fee: $10
Ride tickets: $12
Total expenses: $10 + $12 = $22
Now, subtract your total expenses from the $30 your parent gave you to see how much money you have left:
Remaining money: $30 - $22 = $8
You have $8 remaining. Since the cost of the food and drink is $8.85, it means you do not have enough money for the hotdog and drink.
To afford the food and drink, you will either need to spend less on the ride tickets or ask your parent for additional money.
