Question

Sasha goes to buy groceries. She buys two packages of corn (99€ per package),three gallons of milk ($2.90 per gallon), and a loaf of bread ($1.29). She givesthe clerk $20.00 for her purchases. How much change does Sasha get back?

Answer 1

First, multiply the price of each item by the number of items to find the total amount of money spent on each:

2 packages of corn for $0.99 each

`2*0.99=1.98`

3 gallons of milk for $2.90 each

`3*2.90=8.70`

A loaf of bread: $1.29

Then, add all the quantities to find the total price for all the purchases:

`1.98+8.70+1.29=11.97`

Substract the total price of the purchases from $20.00 to find the amount of change that Sasha gets back:

`20.00-11.97=8.03`

Therefore, the amount of money that she gets back, is:

`8.03`
