Ella and Margaret were at a carnival. They each got a ticket for the carousel. Ella got a jumbo pretzel and Margaret got a snow cone. Ella had a certificate for $5 off the cost. Margaret paid the rest, which came to $12.75. Each carousel ticket costs $4 and a snow cone costs $4.50. How much is a jumbo pretzel?(1 point) Responses $7.50 $7.50 $1.50 $1.50 $5.25 $5.25 $3.50
Since Ella had a certificate for $5 off the cost, she only paid $12.75 - $5 = $<<12.75-5=7.75>>7.75.
Each carousel ticket costs $4, so Ella paid $4 + $7.75 = $<<4+7.75=11.75>>11.75 for the jumbo pretzel.
Since Ella's jumbo pretzel cost $11.75 and Margaret's snow cone cost $4.50, the difference is $11.75 - $4.50 = $<<11.75-4.50=7.25>>7.25.
Therefore, the jumbo pretzel costs $7.25 + $4.50 = $<<7.25+4.50=11.75>>11.75. Answer: \boxed{11.75}.
