Susan pays for the items and receives $ 0.05 in change. What amount of money does Susan use to pay for the items?

Answer 1

Answer: $31.00

Explanation:

The cost of the items bought will be:

2 packages of chicken priced at $13.26 per package = 2 × $13.26 = $26.52

1/2 pound of broccoli priced at $ 1.88 per pound = 1/2 × $1.88 = $0.94

1 gallon of milk priced at $3.49 per gallons = 1 × $3.49 = $3.49

Since Susan pays for the items and receives $ 0.05 in change, the the amount of money that Susan use to pay for the items will be:

= $26.52 + $0.94 + $3.49 + $0.05

= $31.00

The amount Susan uses in paying is $31.00.
