Lizzy: Francis and Kiera had breakfast at a cafe. Muffins cost $2 each, and fruit cups cost $3 each. Francis had 2 muffins and 2 fruit cups. Kiera had 2 muffins and 1 fruit cup. How much did their breakfast cost?.
Me: Hmmm, let me think. I think this is the detailed solution:
Francis bought 2 × $2 = $4 worth of muffins. Francis bought 2 × $3 = $6 worth of fruit cups. Kiera bought 2 × $2 = $4 worth of muffins. Kiera bought 1 × $3 = $3 worth of fruit cups. Their breakfast cost $4 + $6 + $4 + $3 = $17 in total. Final answer: 17.
