Answer 1

for tomas 19.100-6.15=$13.85dollars

so tomas's shirt cost $13.85

for kyle 9.100-1.06=$8.94

13.85-8.94=4.91

so tomas's shirt $4.91more than Kyle's shirt

Answer 2

Tomas's shirt costs $4.91 more than Kyle's shirt.

Explanation:

It is given that Tomas gave the cashier a $20 bill and received $6.15 in change. So, the cost of Tomas's shirt is the difference between the amount he gave and he received in change.

Cost of Tomas's shirt = $20 - $6.15 = $13.85

Kyle gave the cashier a $10 bill and received $1.06 in change. So,

Cost of Kyle's shirt = $10 - $1.06 = $8.94

The cost of Tomas's shirt is $13.85 and the cost of Kyle's shirt is $8.94.

Cost of Tomas's shirt is more that the cost of Kyle's shirt.

$13.85- $8.94=$4.91

Therefore, Tomas's shirt costs $4.91 more than Kyle's shirt.
