Question

Elliot is buying groceries. He buys a bag of apples for 5.54, a loaf of bread for 2.49, and a jar of peanut butter for 3.73. Elliot hands the cashier a twenty dollar bill. How much money should he get in change?

Answer 1

Explanation:

First, you want to add up the subtotal together, so its 5.54+2.49+3.73, and adding those together you get 11.76 as your subtotal. To figure out change, you simply subtract your subtotal to the amount he paid in. For that it is 20-11.76, and that is 8.24

Elliot gets $8.24 in change.

Hope this helps.
