Answer 1

The correct option is B 11.85$

Linda worked for $8$ hours and was paid $\$6.20$ per hour.

$\Rightarrow$ Total amount of money Linda earned $=8\times 6.20=\$49.6$

Linda bought two boxes of chocolates at $\$12.50$each.

$\Rightarrow$ Total amount of money Linda spend on chocolates $=\$12.50\times 2=\$25$

Linda bought three boxes of cookies at $\$4.25$each.

$\Rightarrow$ Total amount of money Linda spend on cookies $=\$4.25\times 3=\$12.75$

$\Rightarrow$ Total amount of money spend on chocolates and cookies $=\$25+\$12.75$

$=\$37.75$

$\Rightarrow$ Money left with Linda $=\$49.6-\$37.75=\$11.85$
