Question

Tonya bought a jacket for $33.51, a pillow for $11.75, and a glove for $14.25. She paid $40 and the rest she borrowed from her friend. If Tonya got $0.49 in change from the cashier, how much did she borrow from her friend to pay for all the items?

Answer 1

Tonya borrowed $19.02 from her friend to pay for all the items.

Step-by-step explanation:

Tonya bought a jacket for $33.51, a pillow for $11.75, and a glove for $14.25. The total cost of all the items is $59.51 ($33.51 + $11.75 + $14.25 = $59.51). She paid $40 and received $0.49 in change. Therefore, the amount she borrowed from her friend is the total cost of the items minus the amount she paid upfront and the change she received: $59.51 - $40 - $0.49 = $19.02.
