Picture example:

Answer 1

$24.61

Explanation:

Since she gets 4 cinnamon rolls, we can multiply the cost of one cinnamon roll by 4, to get the total cost of the cinnamon rolls she ordered.

4 * 2.59 = 10.36

So we know she pays $10.36 for the cinnamon rolls.

We also know that she buys a dozen donuts, so we need to multiple the cost of a donut by 12.

12 * 0.95 = 11.40

She pays $11.40 for the dozen donuts.

She buys a dozen donut holes, and the cost of a dozen donut holes is given. One dozen donut holes is 1.75.

Now we can add the totals of each, and the 1.88 of sales tax, to get her final cost. 11.40 + 10.36 + 1.75 + 1.88 = 25.39, so that is her total cost.

If she pays with a $50 bill, then we need to subtract the cost, to get the change. 50 - 25.39 = 24.61, so she should get $24.61 of change after paying.
