Question

Chloe purchased a sweater that cost $24 and a shirt cost 5-8 times as much as the sweater what amount of change did she receive from clerk $50

Answer 1

The answer is "$11".

Explanation:

Chloe bought a pull, which costs
`\$24`, and a shirt which costs
`(5)/(8)` times as much as the pullout.

Sweater cost =
`\$24`

Shirt cost
`= (5)/(8) * 24=15`

Therefore, total shirt and sweater costs
`= 24+15=39`.

Then she gave
`\$ 50` to her officer.

Thus, she got changes
`= 50-39=11`

therefore, Chloe received a change of 11 dollars if she gave her employer
`\$50`.
