Part B

Anna gave the clerk two 10- dollar bill. She received $4.51 in change. Anna said the clerk was incorrect and should have given her 14.51. Who is correct Explain your answer and include an equation or example using money to support your answer.

Answer 1

she pays 15.49, so her change should be 4.51 since 20-15.49=4.51

Answer 2

$15.49

Explanation:

0.75 x 2 = 1.5

1.50 + 13.99 = 15.49

The clerk is correct; Anna only gave 20 dollars (10x2). 20 - 15.49 = 4.51, which then would be the correct change.
