You and a friend both would like a salad and a small drink. Between the two of you, you have $8.00. A salad costs $2.49 and a small drink is $0.99. Can either of you have a second salad or a drink? Assume there is no sales tax.
A.) yes, one salad
B.) yes, one of each
C.) yes, one drink
D.) No, you cannot.
D.) No, you cannot.
After purchasing one salad and one small drink, you would spend a total of $3.48 ($2.49 for the salad + $0.99 for the drink). Since you only have $8.00 between the two of you, there would not be enough money left to buy another salad or drink.
