Question

Alicia went to the supermarket with $200. She bought 3 cans of peas for $9 each 5 bags of flour at $15 each and 7 packs of milk at $12.50 each. Calculate the change she received.​

Answer 1

The 3 cans of peas cost 39 = $27

The 5 bags of flour cost 515 = $75

The 7 packs of milk cost 7*12.50 = $87.50

The total cost of all the items is 27+75+87.50 = $189.50

To calculate the change she received, you subtract the total cost from the amount she had:

change = 200 - 189.50 = $10.50

So Alicia received $10.50 change.
