Question

Jessica went to the grocery store and purchased a box of cereal for $3.75, milk for $1.50, and bread for $2.25. She paid with a $20.00 bill. How much change did Jessica receive?

Answer 1

$12.50

Explanation:

First, find the exact cost of all the things she bought:

3.75 + 1.5 + 2.25

= 7.5

Then, subtract this from 20:

20 - 7.5

= 12.5

So, she received $12.50 in change
