Question

Mrs. Parker bought several items at a sale recently. She bought 4 towels

for $6.58 each, a set of 6 glasses for $6.58, a shower curtain for $15.80, 3
throw pillows for $11.19 each, and a pair of pillowcases for $12.50. How
much change did she get from a hundred-dollar bill?

Answer 1

her purchases

4 x 6.58 + 6.68 + 15.80 + 3 x 11.19 + 12.50

= 26.32 + 22.48 + 33.57 + 12.50

= 94.87

she gave 100

she got back : 100 - 94.87 = $5.13
