Question

Judy went shopping for school supplies. She bought a binder for $1.38, a pack of pencils for $2.05, and a box of erasers for $3.88. She paid with a $10-bill. How much change did Judy receive?

Answer 1

The change received by Judy is $ 2.69.

Explanation:

Bill paid = $ 10

Cost of binder = $ 1.38

Cost of pack of pencils = $ 2.05

Cost of box of erasers = $ 3.88

Total cost of the school supplies = $ 1.38 + $ 2.05 + $ 3.88 = $ 7.31

The amount of change Judy received = $ 10 - $ 7.31 = $ 2.69
