Answer 1

A= $0.60

B= $5.62

Explanation:

A: If you do 1.5*0.10, the product will be 0.15. If you do 1.5*0.50, the product would be 0.75. So, 0.75-0.15 is 0.6.

B: 2.5*0.50 is 1.25 and 1.25*0.10 is 0.125. So, if you add the products together, you would get 1.375 but because it's money, you have to round it to $1.38 and $7-$1.38 is $5.62.
