Answer

Option 3 is correct.

She would get back $11.18 from $20 bill after buying all these.

Step-by-step explanation

We are told that Valentina purchased 3½ yards at a rate of $2.40 per yard with a 5% tax.

She went to the store with a $20 bill.

We are then asked to calculate how much she'll get back

So, to solve this, we need to calculate all of Valentina's expenses

1 yard = $2.40

3½ yards = 3½ × 2.40 = $8.40

We are then going to consider the extra cost due to 5% tax

5% of $8.40 = 0.05 × $8.40 = $0.42

So, the total expenses = $8.40 + $0.42 = $8.82

If one goes to the store with a $20 bill and spends $8.82, the amount remaining = $20 - $8.82 = $11.18

Hope this Helps!!!
