Question

Karen bought a notebook for $1.80, a pen for $1.05, and a package of crayons. she paid with a $5.00 bill and received $0.65 in change. how much did she pay for the crayons?

Answer 1

cost of crayons is $ 1.5

Explanation:

total money she paid= 5- the change

5 - 0.65= $4.35

cost of crayons, pens and notebook= 4.35

let the cost of crayons be x

x+ 1.80+1.05= 4.35

x+ 2.85= 4.35

x= 4.35-2.85= $1.5

Answer 2

1.80 + 1.05 = 2.85
5 - 2.85 = 2.15
2.15 - 0.65 = 1.50
Karen paid 1.50$ for the crayons.
