Question

Glass bottles are worth 10 cents and aluminum cans are worth 5 cents. If Joe returns 12 glass bottles and 48 aluminum cans, how much money will he receive?

$1.20


$3.60


$2.40


$4.80

Answer 1

Answer: The answer is 3.60 dollars.

Explanation:

1 bottle = 10 cents

12 bottles = 120 cents

100 cents = 1 dollar

1 cent = 1/100

120 = 1/100 * 120 = 1.2 dollars

now

1 aluminium can = 5 cents

48 cans = 5*48 = 240 cents

240 cents = 1/100 * 240 = 2.4 dollars

so total = (1.2+2.4) dollars

= 3.6 dollars
