The question is incomplete:

Hailey went to Frank’s Market and bought 1 3/4 pounds of coffee at $13 a pound and 8 1/2 pounds of rice at $0.45 per pound. If Hailey paid for her purchase with a $50 bill, how much change did she receive?

Answer:

$23.43

Explanation:

First, you need to find the total amount she needs to pay for the items she purchased:

1 3/4=1.75

8 1/2=8.5

Total purchase=(1.75*$13)+(8.5*$0.45)

Total purchase=22.75+3.82

Total purchase=26.57

No, you need to subtract the total amount you have to pay for your purchase from $50:

$50-$26.57=$23.43

According to this, the answer is that she received $23.43 as change.
