Sometimes a problem has extra information that you do not need to solve the problem.
At the tavern, Henry bought a mug of Beer for 1 Buck, Chicken wings for 2 Bucks, a Suttersburger for 6 Bucks, and a Shirt for his girlfriend for 15 Bucks. How much did Henry spend on food?
First, find the information you need to solve the problem. Some information is extra. The extra information is:
Henry bought a shirt for his children for 15 Bucks.
I'll solve the problem using only the information I need.
1 +2 + 6 = 9
