Question

Avery has $20 to spend on lunch. She buys two tacos for $1.25 each and a large soda for $1.75.

How much change should Avery get back from her $20 bill?
o
$17.00
$24.25
$16.25
$15.75

Answer 1

$15.75 change

Explanation:

Avery starts with $20.

She buys 2 tacos and 1 soda.

$1.25 + $1.25 + $1.75

= $4.25

$20 that she started with - $4.25 that she used.

$20 - $4.25 = $15.75

Answer 2

15.75

Explanation:

$20 - ($1.25 x 2) - $1.75 =

20 - 2.5 - 1.75 =

17.5 - 1.75 =

$15.75
