Question

Ernie had $10 in cash, with which he purchased gum for $1.29, a candy bar for $1.49 and a beverage for $2.39. If he does not have to pay sales tax, how much change should he receive?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Okay, so. He has $10 in cash. This is what we would do.

$1.29 + $1.49 = $2.78

$2.78 + $2.39 = 5.17

Since we don't have any tax or anything like that. We would subtract.

$10 - 5.17 = $4.83

Therefore he will receive $4.83 in change.

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

4.83 is the change Ernie would get back
