Question

Suzy went to the gas station and bought a water for $1.98, a bag of chips for $2.50, and a pack of mints for $3.25. She gave the cashier a $10.00 bill to pay for her things. How much money should Suzy get back? Show your work.

Answer 1

$2.27

Explanation:

Add the prices together

1.98 + 2.50 + 3.25 = 7.73

Susy owes the cashier $7.73 but payed with a $10 bill, so subtract

10 - 7.73 = 2.27

She should get back $2.27

Answer 2

2.27

Explanation:

1.98+2.50+3.25 = 7.73 - 10.00 = 2.27
