Question

Mr. Newcomb brought a coffee for himself for $2.38 and for Ms. Latona for $3.65 at Dunkin Donuts. He paid with a $20 bill. How much change did he get?

Answer 1

Solution :-

At first the total money spent by Mr. Newcomb = $ 2.38 + $3.65

=> 6.03

Now

According to the question

Change she get = 20 - 6.03

= 13.97

Answer 2

$13.97

Explanation:

First, find how much the cost was for the two coffees:

2.38 + 3.65

= 6.03

Find how much change he got by subtracting this from 20:

20 - 6.03

= 13.97

So, he got $13.97 in change
