Janice solved this problem. Carla bought some fabric for $13.25. She gave the cashier $20. How much change should Carla get? Janice thought the answer was $17.75. Is Janice's answer reasonable?

$20.00 - $13.25 = $6.75
Carla should get $6.75 in change.

Janice’s answer is NOT reasonable. If she received that much in change, then she would’ve only spent $2.25.
