Question

Sofia bought 12 pens for $0.59 each. she paid with a $10 bill.how much change will she receive?

Answer 1

Okay. To answer this question, we have to multiply the amount of pens bought by the price of them, because you paid 59 cents each for 12 pens. 0.59 * 12 = 7.08. The 12 pens cost $7.08. Sofia paid that with a $10 bill, so we have to subtract the price for the pens from 10. 10 - 7.08 = 2.92. There. Sofia will receive $2.92 in change.

Answer 2

12(0.59)= 7.08

10-7.08= 2.92

Sofia will get $2.92 in change.

Hope this helps!
