Final answer:

To calculate the change Ms. Sheddan received, add the cost of EXPO markers and stickers together to get the total amount spent of $25.38. When this is subtracted from the one-hundred-dollar bill, the change received is $74.62.

Step-by-step explanation:

The student is asking about how to calculate the change received when a purchase is made. To find the answer, we need to add the cost of the EXPO markers ($18.00) and the stickers ($7.38) to determine the total amount spent. Then, this total is subtracted from the amount paid, which is a one-hundred-dollar bill ($100.00).

First, calculate the total cost of the items:

EXPO markers: $18.00

Stickers: $7.38

Total cost: $18.00 + $7.38 = $25.38.

Next, subtract the total cost from the amount paid:

Amount paid (one-hundred-dollar bill): $100.00

Total cost: $25.38

Change received: $100.00 - $25.38 = $74.62.

Therefore, Ms. Sheddan received $74.62 in change after her purchase at Office Max.
