Question

Dan went to the mall on saturday to buy clothes . He paid $8.49 on shorts and $5.82 on a jacket with a $20 dollar bill. How much money did dan pay in change ?

Answer 1

The amount paid in change after a $20 bill as change is $5.69

Explanation:

The amount paid for shorts = $8.49

The amount paid for jacket = $5.82

Now, total amount that has to be paid = Amount for shorts + Amount for jacket

= $8.49 + $5.82 = $14.31

⇒The purchased items cost $14.31 in total.

Now, the bill paid = $20

So, the returned amount = Total amount paid - cost of the items purchased

= $20 - $14.31

= $5.69

Hence the amount paid in change after a $20 bill as change is $5.69
