Question

Dan and his mom went to the

supermarket. The total amount of
their purchase was $126.62. If
Dan's mom hands the cashier
seven $20 bills, how much change
did his mom receive?

Answer 1

She will receive $13.38.

Explanation:

20(7)=140

140-126.62= $13.38

Answer 2

First, we must figure out how much money seven $20 bills are worth. We can multiply 20 by 7 and we will get a product of 140.

If Dan's mom gives the cashier $140, Dan's mom will receive change. We can find out how much change she is getting by subtracting 126.62 from 140.

$140 - $126.62 = $13.38

Therefore, Dan's mom will get $13.38 in change.
