Question

Cheryl bought a shirt for $42 and sweater for$30. Write a numerical expression that represents the change Cheryl received from four $20 bills

Answer 1

`Change = \$8`

Explanation:

Given

`Bills = $20\ bills` (4)

`Shirt = \$42`

`Sweater= \$30`

Required

The change

First, we determine the amount paid,

To do this, multiply the number of bills by the worth of each bill.

So, we have:

`Amount = 4 * \$20`

`Amount = \$80`

Next, calculate the worth if item bought

`Items = \$42 + \$30`

`Items = \$72`

Subtract the items from the amount to get the change.

`Change = \$80 - \$72`

`Change = \$8`
