Answer:

$3.50

Explanation:

You want the change received from a $50 bill after the purchase of 3 shirts for $7.25 each, 1 dress for $12.00, and 1 tote bag for $9.50, with $3.25 added sales tax.

Purchase

The subtotal of items purchased is ...

3 × $7.25 + 1 × 12.00 + 1 × 9.50 = $43.25

Change

The total amount of the purchase, after tax is added is ...

items + tax = $43.25 +3.25 = $46.50

The change received from $50 tendered is ...

$50.00 -46.50 = $3.50

Winnie should receive $3.50 in change.
