Question

B. $45
C. $185.83
D. $135.83

Answer 1

Hailey received $497.40 in change. None of the given options is answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the total cost of the coffee, we multiply the number of pounds (14) by the price per pound ($13):

14 pounds * $13/pound = $182.00

To calculate the total cost of the rice, we multiply the number of pounds (812) by the price per pound ($0.45):

812 pounds * $0.45/pound = $365.40

To find the total cost of the purchase, we add the cost of the coffee and the cost of the rice:

$182.00 + $365.40 = $547.40

Since Hailey paid with a $50 bill, we can calculate her change by subtracting the total cost of the purchase from the amount of money she paid:

$50.00 - $547.40 = -$497.40

Since the change value is negative, we convert it to a positive value to represent the actual amount of change Hailey received:

-$497.40 * (-1) = $497.40

Therefore, Hailey received $497.40 in change.
