Question

Albert bought a Blanket for ​$35.78​, a flag for ​$​10.25, and a glove for ​$15.75. He paid ​$60 and the rest he borrowed from his friend. If Albert got ​$8.22 in change from the​ cashier, how much did he borrow from his friend to pay for all the​ items?

Answer 1

$10

Explanation:

Given that:

Cost of all items bought = (35.78 + 10.25 + 15.75) = $61.78

Amount borrowed = change collected ftom cashier + (61.78 - 60)

Amount borrowed = $8.22 + $1.78

Amount borrowed = $10

Answer 2

$10.00

Explanation:

Expenses

Blanket = $35.78

A flag= $10.25

A glove = $15.75

Total expenses = 35.78+10.25+15.75

Total expenses = $61.78

Let the amount borrows be x

If he paid $60, amount he has left with him will be = $61.78-$60 = $1.78

Amount borrowed will be = amount collected from cashier + amount left with him

Amount borrowed = $8.22 + $1.78

Amount borrowed = $10.00
