Question

Nayeli bought Jamba juice smoothies for herself and Evelyn after school one day. The smoothies cost $4.95 each plus 8.5% tax. how much change did she receive from a $20 bill

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation

Step 1

remember

`8.5\text{ \%}\Rightarrow(8.5)/(100)=0.085`

then, to find the value of the tax, multiply 4.95 0 0.085

`\text{tax}=4.95\cdot0.085=0.42075\text{ per smoothie}`

so, the total cost is

total =2 smoothies +(taxes for 2 smoothies)

total=(2*4.95)+(2*0.42075)

total=9.9+0.8415

total=10.7415

so, Nayebi paid $10.7415
