Answer:

The amount of change will be £7.99

Explanation:

Here, we want to calculate the amount of change that Mehvish should get

1/2 kg carrots at 50 p per kg will be;

1/2 * 50 = 25 p

3 kg potatoes at 64 p per kg will be

3 * 64 = p 192

2 kg onions at 42 p per kg

2 * 42 p = 84 p

1 1/2 kg chicken at £6 per kg will be:

since £1 is 100 p

1.5 * 6 = £9 (9 * 100 p = 900p)

since £1 is 100 p

£20 will be;

20 * 100 = 2,000 p

So let us make the subtraction as follows;

2,000- 900 - 84-192 - 25 = 799 p

In pounds, this is divided by 100

we have this as 799/100 = £7.99
