A fast-food chain offers free delivery for a minimum purchase of $18. Danny ordered 2 quarter-pounder burgers for $3.20 each, 2 large fries that cost $1.90 each, and 2 milkshakes that cost $2.40 each. How much more worth of food should he order to avail of the free delivery?
Thoughts? Step-by-step reasoning:
Two quarter - pounder burgers cost $3.20 x 2 = $6.40. Two large fries cost $1.90 x 2 = $3.80. Two milkshakes cost $2.40 x 2 = $4.80. The total amount spent for the burgers, fries, and shakes is $6.40 + $3.80 + $4.80 = $15. Therefore, he should order $18 - $15 = $3 worth of additional food to take advantage of the free food delivery.
Thus, the answer is 3.
