Question

The Giant family is purchasing three pairs of pants for $2.3 x 10% each, four shirts for $1.2 x 105 each and two pairs of shoes for $5.8 x 10' each. If the Giant family paid with a $1.5 x 10 dollar bill, how much change would they receive?​

A) -$1.16 x 10^9
B) $1.16 x 10^9
C) $1.5 x 10 - $6.9 - $4.8 x 10^5
D) $1.5 x 10 - $6.9 - $4.8 x 10^5 - $1.16 x 10^9

Answer 1

To find the total cost of the purchase, calculate the cost of each item and add them up. The Giant family would receive $149,404,000 in change.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the total cost of the purchase, we need to calculate the cost of each item and then add them up.

For the pants, each pair costs $2.3 x 10% = $2.3 x 0.1 = $0.23.

So, the total cost for the three pairs of pants is 3 x $0.23 = $0.69.

For the shirts, each shirt costs $1.2 x 105 = $1.2 x 100,000 = $120,000.

So, the total cost for the four shirts is 4 x $120,000 = $480,000.

For the shoes, each pair costs $5.8 x 10' = $5.8 x 10,000 = $58,000.

So, the total cost for the two pairs of shoes is 2 x $58,000 = $116,000.

Now, we add up the costs of all the items: $0.69 + $480,000 + $116,000 = $596,000.

The Giant family paid with a $1.5 x 10 dollar bill, which is $1.5 x 10 = $15 x 10,000,000 = $150,000,000.

So, the change they would receive is $150,000,000 - $596,000 = $149,404,000.
