Question

Huey went to the store to buy school supplies. He bought 2 binders for $2.52/each, 3 gluesticks for $0.33/each, and a package of pencils for $1.89. If Huey went to the store with a $10 bill, how much change will Huey expect to get back?

Answer 1

$2.08 will be his change

Explanation:

1. multiply 2.52x2=5.04 for binders

2. multiply 0.33x3=0.99 for gluesticks

3. multiple 1.89x1= 1.89 for pencils

4. add all the totals up, 5.04+0.99+1.89=$7.92

5. subtract the total of $7.92 from the 10 dollar bill

$10-$7.92= $2.08
