Question

Chloe purchased a sweater that cost $24, and a shirt that cost 5/8 times as much as the sweater.What amount of change did Chloe receive if she gave the clerk $50

Answer 1

Chloe received $11 as change if she gave the clerk $50

Explanation:

We are given that Chloe purchased a sweater that cost $24, and a shirt that cost 5/8 times as much as the sweater.

Cost of sweater = $24

Cost of shirt =
`(5)/(8) * 24 = 15`

So, Total cost of shirt and sweater = 24+15=39

Now She gave $50 to clerk

So, Change received by her = 50-39=11

So, Chloe received $11 as change if she gave the clerk $50
