Question

Zeke bought 2 shirts for $19.99 each. He also bought another shirt for $24.99. Sales tax was $5.36. If Zeke paid with a $100 bill, how much change should he receive?

Answer 1

Zeke should receive $29.67 in change.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find the total cost of the shirts Zeke bought:

2 shirts x $19.99 each = $39.98

Next, find the total cost of all the shirts:

$39.98 + $24.99 = $64.97

Add the sales tax to find the total amount Zeke paid:

$64.97 + $5.36 = $70.33

Finally, subtract the total amount from the $100 bill to find the change:

$100 - $70.33 = $29.67
