Answer 1

$90.02

Explanation:

Solve

Formula: Change money = paid money – bill. Paid money = change + bill.

Given: 2 buckets of baseballs that cost $19.49 each

A bat that cost $125.50, and 2 pairs of baseball socks that totaled $29.50

Tax on Alex's purchases equaled $16.

Paid with three $100 bills.

To find: How much change Alex received if he paid with three $100 bills

Total payment + Total Tax -Total cost

19.49 + 125.50 + 29.50 = 174.49 (Don't add the $16 tax because that will be taken from the amount we pay)

∴, three 100 bills is 300

So, 300 - 174.49 = 109.51

109.51 - 16 = 90.51

90.51 - 0.49 = $90.02
