George has $15. He would like to know if he has enough money to see a movie ($9.00) and buy a pretzel ($2.65), a drink ($1.35), and two veggie cups ($1.74 each). George incorrectly used this numerical expression to decide if he had enough money.
15 - 9 + 2.65 + 1.35 + 2(1.74)
Use the order of operations to simplify this expression.

Answer:
Total amount of money George has = $15
Amount George needs = 9 + 2.65 + 1.35 + 2(1.74)
Amount left = 15 - (9+2.65+1.35+2x1.74)
= 15 - (16.48)
= - 1.48
So, money is not enough ; he needs $1.48 more
