Question

Meghan had to go to the grocery store and pick up 1 gallon of milk ($2.55), 2 dozen eggs (1 dozen $1.25), a loaf of bread ($2.99), and 2 boxes of grits (a box $1. 76). She only had $20 on her to spend. Will Meghan have enough money to cover her grocery items? Explain the steps that you took to solve this problem.

Answer 1

yes she will, she will have $8.44 left
