Bob is buying the soccer team ice cream after their game today. 8 players want ice cream cookies and 5 players want ice cream cones. If ice cream cones cost $1.25 each and ice cream cookies cost $1.75 each, how much will Bob spend on ice cream for the team?

Bob will spend on ice cream for the team $20.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!!!

In this problem we are expected to solve for the total amount that Bob will spend to buy

8 players ice cream cookies  and

5 players ice cream cones

let us calculate as follows

Cost of ice cream cookies for 8 players = 8*1.75=  $14

Cost of ice cone for 5 players = 5*1.25=  $6.25

Total cost =  $14+ $6.25= $20.25

the difference between a number and 5 is -2.

step-by-step explanation:

notice that the equation you are given has -2 (negative 2) on the right side, not 2. when you subtract 5 from a number n, you are finding the difference between the number and 5.

the difference between a number and 5 is -2.
