Answer: [tex]\$12.50[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The complete exercise is: "At the cocession stand, medium sodas cost $1.25 and hot dogs cost $2.50. Jack bought 2 medium sodas snd 2 hot dogs. He paid with $20. What was his change?"

You need to analize the information provided in the exercise.

You know that the price of a medium soda was:

[tex]Medium\ soda=\$1.25[/tex]

And the price of a hot dog was:

[tex]Hot\ dog=\$2.50[/tex]

Therefore the total amount of money Jack spent in 2 medium sodas and 2 hot dogs, was:

[tex]Total=2(\$1.25)+2(\$2.50)\\\\Total=\$7.50[/tex]

 Since Jack paid with $20, you need to subtract the total amount of money calculated before from $20, in order to calculate his change.

Therefore, you get that Jack's change was:

[tex]Change=\$20-\$7.50\\\\Change=\$12.50[/tex]
