How much more money did parents spend than children at Barney's Cafe?

A. [tex]$\$[/tex] 100[tex]$

B. $[/tex]\[tex]$ 200$[/tex]
C. [tex]$\$[/tex] 400[tex]$

D. $[/tex]\[tex]$ 350$[/tex]
E. [tex]$\$[/tex] 150$
F. None of these

Answer :

We are given that the parents spent a total of \[tex]$500 and the children spent a total of \$[/tex]350. To determine how much more money the parents spent compared to the children, we calculate the difference between these two amounts.

First, let
[tex]$$
P = \$500 \quad \text{(total spent by parents)}
$$[/tex]
and
[tex]$$
C = \$350 \quad \text{(total spent by children)}.
$$[/tex]

The difference is:
[tex]$$
D = P - C = 500 - 350 = 150.
$$[/tex]

Thus, the parents spent \$150 more than the children.
