Kyle bought a hot dog and popcorn. He has $3.00 left over. How much money did Kyle have to begin with?

Question

HERE ARE THE PRICES OF THE FOOD:

Popcorn $4.25

Hot Dog $5.50

Answer 1

Hi Bet,

First we want to find out how much money Kyle spent. From the given information, we know popcorn costs $4.25 and a hot dog costs $5.50. Kyle bought 1 thing of popcorn and 1 hot dog. So, we add the cost of popcorn ($4.25) + the cost of a hot dog ($5.50) to get $9.75. So, Kyle spent $9.75.

Next, the problem states Kyle had $3.00 leftover, which means he had $3.00 more than $9.75. We add $3.00 + $9.75, and find out that Kyle had $12.75 to begin with.

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

4.25 + 5.5 + 3 = 12.75

he had $12.75 originally

Answer 3

If he has $3.00 left and he bought both of them, he had to start with 4.25 + 5.5 + 3 = $12.75
