A guest orders a shrimp alfredo bowl, a garden side salad, a jumbo fry and a 32 oz drink. They decided to get a 24 oz drink instead of the 32 oz drink and upgraded the jumbo fry to a jumbo chili cheese fry. What is the new total?

The season pass holder gives a $50 bill, and the general admission ticket costs $49.21. Since the season pass holder receives a $5 discount, the total cost for them would be $49.21 - $5 = $44.21. Therefore, the change that needs to be given to the guest is $50 - $44.21 = $5.79.

13. A pizza was sliced into eight equal pieces. Warren saw that just two slices had been eaten. He was hungry, so he ate exactly two more slices of that pizza. Which of the fractions below is the amount of the pizza that was left?

3/4

5/8

1/4

1/2

Warren saw that two slices out of eight had been eaten, which means 2/8 of the pizza was eaten. Then, he ate two more slices, which is an additional 2/8. Therefore, a total of 4/8 or 1/2 of the pizza was eaten. The amount of pizza that was left can be calculated by subtracting the amount eaten from the whole pizza, which is 8/8. So, 8/8 - 4/8 = 4/8 or 1/2 of the pizza was left.
