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.
