Maddy received $60 for her birthday and decided to go shopping. She bought 2 shirts priced at $12.25 each, a necklace for $8.50, and a pair of shoes for $22.75. If all the prices included tax, and she gave the cashier all of her birthday money, how much change did she get back? * $4.25 $5.25 $16.50 $8.25

Respuesta :

Answer:

$4.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Add all the money she spent on things

(12.25*2) + 8.5 + 22.75 = 55.75

60 - 55.75 = 4.25

Maddy got $4.25 back from the Cashier

We have -

Money received by Maddy = $60

Money spent by Maddy :  

  • on shirts = 2 x $12.25 = $24.50
  • on necklace = $8.50
  • on shoes = $22.75                

Suppose you have $X with you. You spent $Y (Y < X) on buying Chocolates and now you are left with $Z. How will you find Z?

In order to calculate the Money left, you can deduct the money spent from the total money you had. Therefore -

                   [tex]Money\;\;Left\;\;=\;\;Total\;\;Money\;\;-\;\;Money\;\;Spent[/tex]

                                                  $Z =  $X - $Y

We can use the above equation to calculate the money returned by the cashier.

Money Spent by Maddy : $24.50 + $8.50 + $22.75 = $55.75

Money Returned by Cashier = Total Money with Maddy - Money Spent by Maddy -

$60 - $55.75 = $4.25

Hence, the Money received by Maddy is $4.25.
