Question

Twenty students went to a fast food restaurant. Everyone ordered a hamburger and a drink. Hamburgers cost $3.25 each and drinks cost $1.15 each. How much did the students spend in all?

Answer 1

Answer:

The total amount spent was $88.

Step-by-step explanation:

The information provided is:

• Twenty students went to a fast food restaurant.
• Everyone ordered a hamburger and a drink.
• Hamburgers cost $3.25 each and drinks cost $1.15 each.

Compute the total cost as follows:

$\text{Total Cost}=\ 3.25\cdot \text{No. of Hamburgers}+\ 1.15\cdot \text{No. of Drinks}$

                 $=(\ 3.25 \times 20)+(\ 1.15 \times 20)\\\\=\ 65+\ 23\\\\=\ 88$

Thus, the total amount spent was $88.
