Question

Chris bought 2.5 pounds of pears for $1.00

per pound. He also bought 1.3 pounds of
apples for $3.00 per pound. Tim gave the cashier
$20 for the pears and apples. How much change
did he receive?

Answer 1

$13.60 in change

Explanation:

2.5 lbs x $1.00 = $2.50 for pears

1.3 lbs x $3.00 = $3.90 for apples

$2.50 + $3.90 = $6.40 paid total

$20.00 - $6.40 = $13.60 change
