Question

Marissa is buying 5 packages of crackers for $3.10 each. Determine how much change Marissa will receive if she gives the clerk $20?

A - $4.50

B - $16.50

C - $15.50

D - $35.50

Answer 1

A. $4.50

Multiple 3.10 by 5 then subtract this product from 20.

Answer 2

$3.10/package x 5 packages = $15.50

If Marissa gives the clerk $20, her change will be:

$20 - $15.50 = $4.50

Therefore, Marissa will receive $4.50 in change.

The answer is A - $4.50.
