Question

Hailey went to Frank's Market and bought 1 3/4 pounds of coffee at $13 a pound and 8 1/2 pounds of rice at $0.40 per pound. Hailey paid for her purchase with a $50 bill. How much change did Hailey receive?

Answer 1

$23.85

Explanation:

1 3/4 = 1.75 pounds of coffee

8 1/2 = 8.5 pounds of rice

1.75 x 13= 22.75

8.5 x 0.4= 3.4

22.75 + 3.4 = 26.15

50-26.15=23.85
