Question

A student pays for 8.9 lb of apples with a $10 bill how much change does the student receive?

a. What do you do first to solve the problem?

b. What do you do next?

Answer 1

well, we know the apples ar $0.99 per lb, the student paid for 8.9 lbs, so that's just their product, (0.99)(8.9) which is about 8.81 or 8 bucks and 81 cents.

what's the change? 10 - 8.81 = 1.19.
