Walter Dawson · Answer 1

1.83

Step-by-step explanation:

First, add the game and glasses. Write down the number you just got. Now, multiply by 0.15.

Take the second away from the first.

Now multiply that by 0.087

Finally, take 20 away

That is how much money you have spent.

Use both savings so they both get a huge meal.
