Addison paid $1.29 for gum and $0.89 for a package of notebook paper . She gave the cashier a $5 bill. If the tax was $0.14, how much change should Addison receive?

Ok....

$1.29 + $0.89 = $2.18

Subtract $2.18 from $5.00 and you get: $2.82

If Addison was charged an extra $0.14 in tax, she'll be given $2.82 - $0.14 in change.

Answer:

$2.68
