A student pays for 8.9 pounds of apples with a 10$ bill. Its $1.09 per pound. How much change does the student receive? What do you do first to solve the problem?
Answer:
$0.299
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that :
Pounds of apple purchased = 8.9 pounds
Price per pounds of apple = $1.09
Bill issued = $10
First, we calculate the total cost of 8.9 pounds of apple :
(Number of pounds * price per pound)
($8.9 * 1.09) = $9.701
Amount of Change :
Bill issued - total cost
$10 - $9.701
= $0.299
