Question

imstuck · Answer

If Neli had to pay the difference of $19.30 and Angela already put $10 towards it, that means they actually spent $29.30.  The cost of 2 tickets is $18 so 29.30 - 18 = $11.30.  They also bought 2 popcorns for $8.80.  So $11.30 - $8.80 = $2.50.  That is the cost of the drink.  See that?  Just work backwards.
