Question

Pete is purchasing a smartphone for $249.30. He gives the sales clerk 3 fifty-dollar bills, 4 twenty-dollar bills, and 4 five-dollar bills. How much should he receive in change?

Answer 1

the amount received in change is $0.70

Explanation:

The computation of the amount received in change is shown below:

= Given amount - purchased amount

= (3 × 50 + 4 × 20 + 4 × 5) - $249.30

= (150 + 80 + 20) - $249.30

= 250 - 249.30

= $0.70

Hence, the amount received in change is $0.70
