2. Sasha has \( \$ 3.50 \). She wants to buy two muffins. The muffins each cost \( \$ 2.12 \). H much more money would she need to buy two muffins?

To find out how much more money Sasha needs, we first calculate the total cost of the two muffins. Each muffin costs \( \$2.12 \), so two muffins would cost \( 2.12 \times 2 = \$4.24 \). Now, we subtract the amount Sasha already has, which is \( \$3.50 \). So, \( 4.24 - 3.50 = \$0.74 \). Therefore, Sasha needs an additional \( \$0.74 \) to buy the two muffins. If Sasha wants to buy those muffins without feeling a pinch, she could consider saving her pocket money over a week or two! Perhaps she can also try making muffins at home—homemade goodies can not only save money but also be a fun activity. Who can resist delicious muffins coming fresh out of the oven?
