Before looking at the answers, solve the word problem so you know what you are looking for.

STEP 1:
Find the total spent.

Total Spent= (# of biscuits * price per biscuits) + (# of sausages * price per sausage) + tip

=(3 * $1.59) + (3 * $2.50) + $1.85
=4.77 + 7.50 + 1.85
=14.12 spent

STEP 2:
Find amount left

Amount Left= $25 - total spent

=$25 - 14.12
=$10.88 amount left

ANSWER: The answer that matches the required steps is B. We first calculate the price of the 3 biscuits, then the price of the 3 sausages, add those prices to the tip, and subtract that total from $25. B is the answer.

Hope this helps! :)
