Question

Omar has $32 to spend at the store. He bought one bag of apples which cost $4 each, 3 mangoes which cost $2 each, one block of cheese which costs $5, and a pizza which costs $15. How much change will Omar receive after his purchase?

Answer 1

$2 is his change. Because 32-4-6-5-15=2

Answer 2

Moolah to spend: $32.00

Apples: $4.00

Mangoes x 3: $6.00

Cheese (really expensive cheese): $5.00

Pizza: $15.00

$32.00 -$32.00 - $30.00 = change Omar received ($4.00+$6.00+$5.00+$15.00) = change Omar received

$32.00 - $30.00 = change Omar received

$2.00 = change Omar received (assuming everything he brought was tax free -- if it was, then that made up for the outrageous price for that block of cheese)
