Question

. Elva spent $11.83 on her lunch while Margaret spent $8.96 on her lunch. Elva paid with a twenty-dollar

bill and gave a $2.25 tip. How much did Elva have left from her twenty-dollar bill?

Answer 1

• Elva spent=$11.83
• Tip=$2.25

Total=11.83+2.25=14.08$

Now

• she paid 20$ bill

Elva left:-

`\\ \sf\longmapsto 20-14.08`

`\\ \sf\longmapsto 5.92\$`

Answer 2

$5.92

Explanation:

Her bill is $11.83 but she gave a tip of $2.25 so you add those 2 numbers together:

$11.83 + $2.25 = $14.08

Then she paid with a 20 dollar bill so you subtract that from 14.08.

$20 - $14.08 = $5.92

So Elva has $5.92 left from her twenty-dollar bill.
