Question

You buy 2.6 pounds of apples and 1.475 pounds of peaches. You hand the cashier a 20$ bill. How much change will you receive?

Answer 1

$14.03

Explanation:

The cost of the apples is ...

(2.6 lb)($1.23/lb) = $3.20

The cost of the peaches is ...

(1.475 lb)($1.88/lb) = $2.77

So, the total purchase amount was ...

$3.20 +2.77 = $5.97

Change from $20 will be ...

$20 -5.97 = $14.03
