the student will receive $1.2

8.9 x .99 = 8.8
10 - 8.8 = 1.2

Answer:


\$\,1.19

Explanation:

Quantity of apples bought by the student = 8.9 pounds

Amount paid by the student for apples bought by the student =
\$ 10

If cost of one pound of apples is
\$ 0.99 then cost of 8.9 pounds = 0.99 × Quantity of apples bought by the student =
8.9* 0.99=8.811

Therefore,

Amount of change that the student receive if the apples are .99 per pound = Amount previously paid by the student for apples bought by the student when the student pays
\$ 10 - Amount paid by the student for apples if the apples are .99 per pound =
\$ \,10-\$ \,8.811=\$\,1.19
