Answer:

The answer is "$11".

Explanation:

Chloe bought a pull, which costs
\$24, and a shirt which costs
(5)/(8) times as much as the pullout.

Sweater cost =
\$24

Shirt cost
= (5)/(8) * 24=15

Therefore, total shirt and sweater costs
= 24+15=39.

Then she gave
\$ 50 to her officer.

Thus, she got changes
= 50-39=11

therefore, Chloe received a change of 11 dollars if she gave her employer
\$50.
