Question

Natalie buys a basketball for $25.57 and an air pump for $15.61. How much change will she receive if she pays for both items with a $50 bill?

Answer 1

`Change = \$8.82`

Explanation:

Given

`Basketball = \$25.57`

`Air\ Pump = \$15.61`

`Amount = \$50`

Required

Determine the change received

First, we need to calculate the total amount spent

`Total = \$25.57 + \$15.61`

`Total = \$41.18`

This implies that Natalie pays a total of $41.18

Next, we calculate the change as thus:

`Change = Amount - Total`

`Change = \$50 - \$41.18`

`Change = \$8.82`

Hence, the change is $8.82
