An order with a negative and a simple total
A learner reads an original café exercise: “Herbata 8 zł. Woda 4 zł. Kanapka 11 zł”. A customer’s note says: “Poproszę herbatę bez cukru i jedną kanapkę. Nie chcę wody”. The learner remembers the word woda and adds it to the purchase despite the negative statement. Another error changes bez cukru into a request with sugar. The tutor asks the learner to distinguish items that appear in a text from items actually ordered, then calculate only the supplied fictional prices. The purpose is language comprehension supported by arithmetic, not a claim about current prices, restaurant service rules, dietary treatment, or an actual commercial transaction in Poland.

The customer orders tea without sugar and one sandwich. Water is explicitly declined. Bez cukru means without sugar, so that restriction should not be reversed.
2. What is the exercise total?

The tea costs 8 zł and the sandwich 11 zł, giving 19 zł. The 4 zł water price is not included because water was not ordered.
