Math Problem Statement

Sophia has $8 to spend on lunch. Does she have enough money for a sandwich, a drink, and a bag of chips?

Solution

Let’s calculate whether Sophia has enough money.

She has $8 to spend. The cost of the items she wants is:

  • Sandwich: $4
  • Drink: $2
  • Bag of chips: $1

Total cost = $4 + $2 + $1 = $7.

Sophia has $8, so after spending $7, she will have:

$8 - $7 = $1 left.

Answer: Yes, she will have $1 left.

  2. How much money would Sophia need if she added a salad to her current order?
  3. If Sophia wanted two drinks, how much would her total cost be?
  4. How much change would Sophia have if she spent $6 on lunch?
  5. How many bags of chips could Sophia buy with her remaining $1?
