Explain simply why 22 is the correct answer to: Victoria was given a $50 bill by her mother to buy her friends snacks for their group meeting. She bought 2 boxes of pizza that costs $12 each and 2 packs of juice drinks that cost $2 each. How much money should Victoria return to her mother?. Explanation:
Two boxes of pizza amount to $12 x 2 = $24. Two packs of juice amount to $2 x 2 = $4. Victoria paid a total of $24 + $4 = $28. Hence, she should return the $50 - $28 = $22 to her mother.
