Give the step-by-step reasoning process and then the final answer. Trip wanted to watch the new action movie in theaters. An evening ticket cost $10 and a large popcorn & drink combo would cost him an additional $10. He noticed on their website, they had a special offer. From 12 noon to 3 pm, save 20% off tickets and 50% off any food combos. How much money could Trip save by going to the earlier movie?
An evening movie is $10 and the food combo would be $10 so 10 + 10 = $20. If he goes to an earlier movie, it's 20% off the normal ticket price of $10 so 10 * .20 = $2. If he goes to an earlier movie, it's 50% off the normal food price of $10 so 10 * .50 = $5. If he saves $2 for the ticket and $5 on food, then 2 + 5 = $7 saved.
The final answer: 7.
