Question

Neveah gave the cashier $35 to pay for her items. She purchased a hoodie that cost $17.95 and a shirt on sale for a different price. The cashier gave her $4.71 in change. What is the cost of her shirt?

Answer 1

$35-$4.71=$30.29
$30.29-$17.95=$12.34

Answer 2

Cost of shirt = $ 12.3412.

Explanation:

Amount given to cashier = $ 35

Cost of hoodie = $ 17.95

Cost of hoodie + cost of shirt = 35 - 4.71

17.95 + cost of shirt = 30.29

Cost of shirt = 30.29 - 17.95

Cost of shirt = $ 12.34
