Question

You buy six pens for $2.99 each, and sales tax is 10%. How much change should you receive from a clerk if you give her a $20 bill?

Answer 1

Answer: $0.26

Explanation:

Cost of 6 pens

= 2.99 x 6

= 17.94

Add sales tax at 10%,

= 17.94 x 1.1

= 19.74

Change due to me

= 20 - 19.74

= 0.26

Answer 2

$2.06

Explanation:

$2.99 x 6 = $17.94

$20.00 - $17.94 = $2.06

Hope this helps
