    Claire's total will be $14.68. This is the result of adding the movie ticket, popcorn, and drink (without taxes of course). The best statement to describe this would be the following:

    $5.75 (movie ticket)

    $4.95 (popcorn)

    + $3.98 (drink)

    $14.68 (total)

    I believe that the answer is C because Claire would round each price to the near dollar, which would be $6 (movie ticket), $5 (popcorn), and $4 (drink) which would equal $15.
