Final answer:

Natalie will receive $8.82 in change after buying a basketball and an air pump for a total of $41.18 and paying with a $50 bill.

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculating Change from a Purchase

Natalie purchased a basketball for $25.57 and an air pump for $15.61. To find out how much change she will receive from a $50 bill, we need to add the cost of the items and then subtract this total from $50.00.

First, let's calculate the total cost of the items:

$25.57 (basketball) + $15.61 (air pump) = $41.18

Next, we subtract this total from the $50 bill she pays with:

$50.00 - $41.18 = $8.82

So, Natalie will receive $8.82 in change.

The correct answer is A) $8.82.
