Question

You buy a movie ticket for $5.25 and popcorn for $2.98. You pay with a 10-dollar bill.

How much change will you get back?

​

Answer 1

$1.77

Explanation:

$5.25 + $2.98 to find the total (I am not including tax, as there is not a mentioned rate) = $8.23

10.00 - 8.23 = 1.77 so, $1.77 is the change.

Answer 2

$1.77

Explanation:

Add the Movie Ticket and Popcorn together

$5.25 + $2.98

Simplify

$8.23

Subtract the total from your 10 dollar bill

$10 - $8.23

Simplify

$1.77
