Question

Eric bought a 1. 29 and an eraser for 0. 39. He paid with 2. 0. What is the correct amount of change he should get back

Answer 1

$0.32

Explanation:

First, we need to see how much the combined cost of the 2 items.

So you add the two costs:

1.29+0.39= 1.68

So the 2 items together cost 1.68

But Eric paid 2 dollars, so he should get some change. But how much?

Since he paid 2 dollars, and the items cost 1.68, we can subtract them to get the change he gets back.

$2-$1.68=$0.32

Eric gets 32 cents back
