Question

You purchase a movie ticket for $8.25 and popcorn for $3.99. You pay for both items with a $10 bill and a $5 bill. Complete a verbal model for the problem. Then find how much change you receive?

Answer 1

To find the change you receive, subtract the cost of the movie ticket and popcorn from the total amount paid.

Step-by-step explanation:

To complete a verbal model for the problem, we can say:

You purchase a movie ticket for $8.25 and popcorn for $3.99. You pay a total of $10 in bills. The change you receive is the difference between the total amount you paid and the cost of the movie ticket and popcorn combined.

The change you receive is calculated as:

Change = Total amount paid - Cost of movie ticket - Cost of popcorn

Change = $10 - $8.25 - $3.99
