Question

At the grocery store, Charlie bought a jar of spaghetti sauce for $2.49, a package of spaghetti noodles for $1.58, and a gallon of milk for $3.17. If Charlie gives the clerk a ten-dollar bill, how much change should he get back?

Answer 1

The answer is 2.76.

Explanation:

2.49 + 1.58 = 4.07

4.07 + 3.17 = 7.24

10.00 - 7.24 = 2.76

<3

Answer 2

the answer is $2.76

to get this first add 2.49, 1.58, and 3.17 which is 7.24.
then subtract 7.24 from 10
10 - 7.24 = 2.76
