Question

Hailey went to Farmer's Market and bought 134 pounds of coffee at $13.00 per pound and 812 pounds of rice at $0.45 per pound. If Hailey paid for her purchase with a $50.00 bill, how much change did she receive?

A
$22.75


B
$23.42


C
$26.58


D
$76.58

Answer 1

Answer: B- $23.43

Explanation:

First, you need to convert:

1 3/4=1.75

8 1/2=8.5

Total purchase- (1.75 x 13) + (8.5 x 0.45) = 22.75 + 3.82 = 26.57

Now you need to subtract the total amount you have to pay for your purchase from the $50.

50 - 26.57 = 23.43!

Answer 2

Answer: B

. $23.42 is your answer

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.
