Q: Jim and his Cousin are out at a restaurant. They each order a cheeseburger and milkshake. They also split an order to cheese fries. A cheeseburger is $3. A milkshake is $5. Cheese fries are $8. They spend 80% of their combined money. If Jim brought $20 how much did his cousin bring?
A: They spent $8 each on cheeseburgers and milkshakes because 3 + 5 = 8. They spent $16 on these items in total because 2 x 8 = 16. They spent $24 on their meal because 16 + 8 = 24. They had $30 to start because 24 / .8 = 30. His cousin had $10 because 30 - 20 = 10. The answer is 10.
