Answer:

$4.3

Explanation:

Cole bought 10 gallons of gas at the gas station with the lowest price.(the lowest price is $3.57 each gallon.) He paid with two $20 bills. Write and solve an equation to find his change.

two $20 bills = 2 * $20

= $40

Gallons of gas = 10

Lowest price of each gallon = $3.57

Cost of 10 gallons of gas = 10 * $3.57

= $35.7

Let his change = x

His change = Amount paid with - cost of gas

x = $40 - $35.7

x = $4.3

His change = $4.3
