Answer:

$3.28

Step-by-step explanation:

First, multiply 12 times 0.56.

12 x 0.56 = 6.72

The answer would be $6.72.

In order to find how much change he would receive, you need to subtract 10.00 - 6.72.

10.00 - 6.72 = 3.28

I don't imagine you could divide with this since the answer would lead to 0.04 but if so i'm an idiot.

The way i would do it is 12 x 0.56 which makes 6.72. (it just makes sense?)

So for the 0.04 he would get back 9.96

The 6.72 he would get back 3.28

Sorry i considered the possibilities.
