Question

Your parents gave you $50 to take your brother and sister to the movies. Your ticket cost $8.25 and your siblings cost $4.25. If you spent an additional $20 on soda and popcorn, how much money did you bring home with you?

$50

$39.75

$13.50

$13.25

Answer 1

8. 25 + 8.50 + 20 = ?

Answer 2

36.75

Answer 3

50 - 36.75?

Answer 4

13.75

Answer 5

No.

Answer 6

Close, but no. If I added 13.75 + 36.75 I would get 50.5

Answer 7

This means I somehow had an extra fifty cents lying around somewhere. Which didn't happen according to this problem. Mom gave us 50$, not 50.5$.

Answer 8

Try again.
