Your parents gave you $50 to take your younger brother and sister to the movies. your ticket cost $7.25 and your siblings cost $4.25. if you spent an additional $10 on soda and popcorn, how much money did you bring home with you?
a. $50
b. $39.75
c. $13.50
d. $13.25

$24.25

Explanation:

Given:

Amount given by parents = $50

So, $50 can be considered as income.

Following are the expenses:

Cost of ticket for adult = $7.25

Cost of ticket for children = $4.25

Cost of ticket of 2 siblings = 4.25 × 2 =  $8.5

Cost of Soda and Popcorn = $10

Total expenses = 7.25 + 8.5 + 10 = $25.75

Amount left after expenses = Income - expenses

                                              = $50 - 25.75

                                              = $24.25

two years ago, when picking flowers in the mountains back of yosemite valley, i found a book. it was blotted and storm-beaten; all of its outer pages were mealy and crumbly. the paper seemed to dissolve like the snow beneath which it had been buried, however; many of the inner pages were well preserved. and although all were more or less stained and torn, whole chapters were easily readable. this is the condition of the great open book of yosemite glaciers today; its granite pages have been torn and blurred by the same storms that wasted the castaway book.
