Answer:
[tex]Change = \$10.25[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
[tex]Individuals = 4[/tex] (You and 3 friends)
[tex]Total = \$20.00[/tex]
[tex]Movie = \$6.25[/tex] per individual
[tex]Popcorn = \$3.50[/tex]
Required
Determine the change
First, we need to determine the total amount spent on movie ticket.
The question does not state whether I pay for my friend's ticket.
So, we'll work on what is obvious.
i.e
[tex]Amount\ Spent\ on\ Ticket = \$6.25[/tex]
Add this amount to the amount spent on popcorn
[tex]Amount\ Spent =\$6.25 + \$3.50[/tex]
[tex]Amount\ Spent =\$9.75[/tex]
To get the Change, we have to deduct the total amount spent from the amount given by mom
[tex]Change = \$20 - \$9.75[/tex]
[tex]Change = \$10.25[/tex]
Hence:
The change is $10.25
