Sample Question 1:

Susan had 50 dollars to spend at the carnival. She spent 12 dollars on food and twice as much on rides. How many dollars did she have left to spend?

\(\textbf{(A)}\ 12 \qquad \textbf{(B)}\ 14 \qquad \textbf{(C)}\ 26 \qquad \textbf{(D)}\ 38 \qquad \textbf{(E)}\ 50\)




Answer Keys

Question 1: B


Solutions

Question 1
Step 1: Calculate how much Susan spent on rides by doubling the amount she spent on food, which gives \(12 \times 2 = 24\) dollars.
Step 2: Find the total amount of money Susan spent by adding the amount spent on food to the amount spent on rides, giving \(12 + 24 = 36\) dollars.
Step 3: Subtract the total amount Susan spent from the initial amount of money she had to find the amount left over, which is \(50 - 36 = 14\) dollars. Therefore, the answer is \(\boxed{\textbf{(B)}\ 14}\).
