Question

My order cost $9.25, I gave you a ten and you gave me 50 cents—what did you do?

A) Undercharged
B) Overcharged
C) Gave Correct Change
D) Made an Error

Answer 1

The cashier undercharged you because you were owed $0.75 in change but only received $0.50.

Step-by-step explanation:

When calculating change, we subtract the order cost from the amount given. The order cost was $9.25, and a $10 bill was given, so we calculate the following:

$10.00 - $9.25 = $0.75

Therefore, the correct change should be $0.75. However, you were given only $0.50. This means the cashier undercharged you because they gave you less change than you were owed. The correct option is A) Undercharged.
