bills, and one $1 bill in her purse. Can she pay for all her choices?

B. Yes, she will have $1.38 left over.
C. Yes, she has exactly enough.
D. No, she needs $5.83 more.​

Answer 1

A. No, she needs $2.83 more.

Step-by-step explanation:

24.89+18.95+9.99=53.83

Total amount of money Rachel has: $51 (20+20+5+5+1)

$51-$53.83=-$2.83- Rachel needs $2.83 to be able to afford the purchases.

Answer 2

2(20)=40
2(5)=10
1(1)=1
total of $51
$24.89+$18.95+$9.99= $53.83
$53.83-$51.00=$2.83
Making the correct answer A!
