Question

Tano went to a professional basketball game He spent $54.85 for a ticket S4 99 for a hot dog and $2 15 for a soda What is the total amount that he spent? Use mental math to find the sum. A S60.99 O B 961.00 O C 561.99 OD 96200

Answer 1

The total amount is calculated as the sum of the cost of the ticket, the cost of the hot dog, and the cost of the soda.

So, the total amount is:

$54.85+4.99+2.15=61.99$

Answer: $ 61.99

To answer it using mental math, we can add 0.85 and 0.15 and get 1, add 54 and 2 and get 56 and approximate 4.99 to 5.

Then, the sum 1 + 56 + 5 is equal to 62.00 but we need to subtract 0.01 because of the approximation. Therefore the final result is:

62.00 - 0.01 = 61.99
