Question

Bianca bought a pack of rechargeable batteries for

$9.99. If the sales tax on the batteries is 3% and Bianca
pays with $11 cash, how much change will she get back?

Answer 1

$0.71

Explanation:

9.99 + (3% of 9.99) = 10.2897

11 - 10.2897 = 0.7103, so $0.7103 is our answer. However, this isn't a real amount of money that can be handed from a clerk to a customer. So, we will round it to the nearest cent, bringing us to $0.71, our final answer.
