How much was the snack?
1. **State the problem:** Annabelle pays with a $50 bill and receives change consisting of two $20 bills, one $5 bill, and three quarters.
2. **Calculate the total change received:**
- Bills: $20 + $20 + $5 = $45
- Quarters: 3 quarters = 3 \times 0.25 = $0.75
Total change = $45 + $0.75 = $45.75
3. **Calculate the cost of the snack:**
Cost = Amount paid - Change received
$$\text{Cost} = 50 - 45.75 = 4.25$$
4. **Answer:** The snack cost $4.25.
