A couple friends decide go to a movie. Each person buys a ticket for $12.50, a popcorn for $4.25, and a drink for $3.75. Write an expression in simplest form for the amount each person spends.

The cost of each person's ticket, popcorn, and drink is: 12.50 + 4.25 + 3.75 = <<12.5+4.25+3.75=20.5>>20.5. Therefore, each person spends $20.50.
