Aanya bought 3 notebooks and 2 pencils for school. Each notebook costs $2.50 and each pencil costs $1.00. How much did Aanya spend in total on the notebooks and pencils?
- $9.50 ✓
- $8.00
- $7.50
- $6.00
Why: To find the total cost, first calculate the cost of the notebooks: 3 notebooks * $2.50 = $7.50. Then calculate the cost of the pencils: 2 pencils * $1.00 = $2.00. Finally, add both amounts together: $7.50 + $2.00 = $9.50. Therefore, Aanya spent $9.50 in total.
Omar is planning a fundraiser at his school in Plano, Texas to sell homemade lemonade. Each cup of lemonade costs $2.75. If he sells 16 cups, how much money will he make in total from the lemonade sales?
- $44.00 ✓
- $36.50
- $39.00

- $66.00 ✓
- $60.75
- $65.00

Why: To find the total money Valentina makes, multiply the price of each taco, $2.75, by the number of tacos sold, 24. So, $2.75 * 24 = $66.00. Therefore, the correct answer is $66.00.

- $8.50
Why: To find out how much change Eduardo receives, first calculate the total cost of the tickets. 3 tickets at $4.50 each equals 3 * 4.50 = $13.50. Next, subtract the total cost from the amount he paid: $20 - $13.50 = $6.50. Therefore, Eduardo receives $6.50 in change.
