<PRE><B>Question 147374</B>
Problem: To save the environment, the Lion’s Den Cafeteria sells an empty reusable 24-ounce plastic mug to students for $2.99. Using the mug, a student can get a 24-ounce soft drink for a reduced price of 69 cents.
-----------------
(1)   If a student buys the mug and uses it only once, then what is the cost for that one drink?
---------
Paid for the mug: 2.99
Paid for the drink: 0.69
Total paid: 3.68
