To get ready for a new school year, Meg bought 3 pens for $.79 each, 2 notebooks for $1.29 each, and 4 folders for $.15 each. Sales tax for all of the items was $.38. How much change will Meg get back from $20?

3 x 0.79= $2.37
2 x 1.29= $2.58
4 x 0.15= $0.60
9 x 0.38= $3.42

$2.37 + $2.58 + $0.60 + $3.42= $8.97

$20.00 - $8.97= $11.03

The answer is $11.03
