Answer to Problem 1STP

Yes,one of us can have a second small drink.

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

Total money we have=$8.00

Salad cost=$2.49

Small drink cost=0.99

Calculation:

According to question,

Both have salad and small drink

  $\begin{array}{l}\therefore totalmoneyspend=(2\times saladcost)+(2\times smalldrinkcost)\\ =(2\times 2.49)+(2\times 0.99)\\ =4.98+1.98\\ =\$\mathrm{6.96.}\end{array}$

  $Moneyleftwithme=totalmoneywehave-totalmoneyspend$

  $\begin{array}{l}=8-6.96\\ =\$\mathrm{1.04.}\end{array}$

Since,

Salad cost is $2.49 and small drink cost $0.99,

So, one of us can have a second small drink.
