Solution

First, let's round each amount to the nearest dollar:

  • Admission: 18.95roundsto18.95 rounds to 19
  • Book of ride tickets: 26.50roundsto26.50 rounds to 27
  • Lunch: 9.20roundsto9.20 rounds to 9

Next, let's add up all these costs:

19(admission)+19 (admission) + 27 (ride tickets) + 9(lunch)=9 (lunch) = 55

Ben started with 80.Ifwesubtractthetotalcostof80. If we subtract the total cost of 55 from this, we can find out how much Ben will have left for a souvenir:

8080 - 55 = $25

So, Ben will have about 25lefttobuyasouvenir.TheanswerisB.25 left to buy a souvenir. The answer is B. 25.
