Question

Leigh has $10 to buy candy. She buys 2 pieces of candy for $0.68 each. How much

change will she receive?

Answer 1

she will receive $8.64 of change

Explanation:

2x0.68= 1.36 (2 for the 2 candies and 0.68 for the price of each one)

10-1.36=8.64 (subtract $1.36 from 10)

Answer 2

$8.64

Explanation:

Since she buys 2 candys for 0.68 you multiply it by two

(0.68x2)

Then you get $1.36 So her candy cost $1.36

Now you take her 10.00-1.36 and you get 8.64 dollars or change left.

I hope this was helpful :)
