Question

Fatema bought 35 feet of window trim at a hardware store. The trim cost $1.75 per foot, including sales tax. If Fatema paid with a $100.00 bill, how much change should she have received?

Answer 1

Answer:$38.75

Explanation:

35(number of feet) * $1.75(cost per foot) = $61.25(total cost)

$100(bill used) - $61.25(total cost) = $38.75(amount given in change)

Answer 2

$38.75

Explanation:

We have given that : The trim cost per foot =$1.75

for 35 feet of window trim cost = 35×1.75 = $61.25

Now, Fatima paid $100.00 bill

Amount she received = Amount she pay - cost of trim she buy

= $100 - $61.25

=$38.75
