Numbers and Operations

Three friends went to a school play. Each ticket was [tex]$\$[/tex]5[tex]$. They each spent different amounts of money on food and drink.

\begin{tabular}{|l|l|}
\hline
Name & Food and Drink Costs \\
\hline
Chris & \$[/tex]? \\
\hline
Bê & \$5 \\
\hline
\end{tabular}



Answer :

Sure! Let us break down the problem step by step.

1. Ticket Cost Calculation:
- Each ticket costs [tex]$5. - There are three friends: Chris, Bê, and Nood. Therefore, the total cost for all the tickets is: \[ \text{Total ticket cost} = 3 \times 5 = 15 \] 2. Food and Drink Costs: - Bê spent $[/tex]5 on food and drink.
- We do not have the specified amounts for Chris and Nood.

3. Total Cost for Bê:
The total cost for Bê includes the ticket cost and the amount spent on food and drink:
[tex]\[ \text{Total cost for Bê} = \text{Ticket cost} + \text{Food and drink cost for Bê} \][/tex]
Substituting the known values:
[tex]\[ \text{Total cost for Bê} = 5 + 5 = 10 \][/tex]

4. Unknown Costs for Chris and Nood:
- The costs for Chris' food and drink are unknown.
- The costs for Nood's food and drink are unknown.

Given the information provided, here are the calculated results:
- The total cost for all the tickets is [tex]$15. - The total cost for Bê, including the ticket and food and drink, is $[/tex]10.
- The food and drink costs for Chris and Nood remain unspecified (for simplicity, placeholders 0 were used in the explanation).

The result would be presented as follows:
- Total ticket cost: [tex]$15 - Total cost for Bê: $[/tex]10
- Food and drink cost for Chris: [tex]$0 (unknown) - Food and drink cost for Nood: $[/tex]0 (unknown)
