Question

Eliza went to the store and bought 3 lbs of apples at $1.99 per lb, two loaves of bread at $.89 per loaf, a box of cereal at $3.99 per box, and a gallon of milk at $3.19 per gallon. If Eliza paid with $20, how much change did she receive?

Answer 1

Answer:

The amount of change she will receive is:

                           $ 5.07

Step-by-step explanation:

• Eliza bought 3 lbs of apples at $1.99 per lb.

This means that cost of 3 lbs of apple= $ (1.99×3)

i.e. cost of 3 lbs of apple= $ 5.97

• Two loaves of bread at $.89 per loaf.

Cost of 2 loaves= $ (0.89×2)

i.e.

Cost of 2 loaves= $ 1.78

• A box of cereal at $3.99 per box.

• Cost of one gallon of milk at $3.19 per gallon.

This means that the total cost of his purchase is:

$ (5.97+1.78+3.99+3.19)

= $ 14.93

If Eliza paid with $20.

This means that the change she will receive is:

= $ (20-14.93)

= $ 5.07
