Answer:

I'm glad you asked!

Step-by-step explanation:

So let's do it step by step.

Already she has to pay $[tex]5[/tex] for going in.

She has [tex]2[/tex] whole pounds.

[tex]1.25[/tex] x [tex]2=2.5[/tex] or [tex]2 \frac{1}{2}[/tex]

Add $[tex]5[/tex] and $ [tex]2.5[/tex] .

[tex]5+2.5 = 7.5[/tex]

Now let's do $1.25 divided by 10.

[tex]$[/tex]$[tex]1.25[/tex] divided by $[tex]10[/tex] [tex]=0.125[/tex]

Now let's do [tex]0.125[/tex] times [tex]4[/tex]

[tex]0.125[/tex] x [tex]4 = 0.5[/tex]

Now let's add 7.5 to 0.5

[tex]7.5+0.5=8[/tex]
