Question

Magdalena is purchasing a video game console for $224.15, including tax. She gives the sales clerk 3 fifty-dollar bills, 2 twenty-dollar bills, and 4 ten-dollar bills. How much should she receive in change?

A. $15.85
B. $5.85
C. $0.85
D. $25.85

Answer 1

B. $5.85

All what she gave the sales clerk added up to 230 then you do 224.15 - 230 = 5.85

Answer 2

B

Explanation:

If Magdelena has to pay $224.15 for a video game console and she has 3 fifty-dollar bills, 2 twenty-dollars bills and 4 ten-dollar bills she will have a total of:

`=3*50+2*20+4*10=150+40+40=230`

She has $230 so therefore if she gives this to the sales clerk she will recieve change in the amount of:

`=230-224.15=5.85`

She will recieve $5.85 change.
