Question

Michael purchased a chocolate swirl yogurt in a waffle cone. The yogurt cost $1.25 and the waffle cone was 50¢. He gave the clerk 8 quarters. How much did she give back to Michael?

Answer 1

.25 = 1 quarter

Explanation:

8 x .25 = $2.00

1.25 + .50 = $1.75

2.00 - 1.75 = .25

Answer 2

Michael should get $0.25 from the clerk.

Explanation:

Add $1.25+$0.50 together which equals $1.75 and multiply $0.25x8 which equals $2.00 and subtract $1.75 from $2.00 and that equals $0.25.
