Susan buys the item listed below at a grocery store. 2 packages of chicken priced at $12.36 per package. 1/2 pound of broccoli priced at $1.98 per pound. 1gallon of milk priced at $3.49 per gallon. There is no sales tax on the food she buys. Susan pays for the items and recevies $0.80 in change. What amount of money does Susan use to pay for the items?

Answer:

If Susan receives $$0.80$ in return, then she would have payed $$30$ to begin with.

Step-by-step explanation:

The price for items:

• Chicken price per package = $12.36

• The price of broccoli per pound = $1.98

• The price of 1 gallon of milk  = $3.49

Her shopping items:

• Chicken price for two packages = 2 × 12.36 =  $24.72

• The price of broccoli 1/2 pound = 1.98/2 = $0.99

• The price of 1 gallon of milk  = $3.49

As there are no sales tax

Therefore, adding her shopping items:

                                          $24.72 + $0.99 + $3.49 - $0 = $29.2

If Susan receives $$0.80$ in return, then she would have payed $$30$ to begin with.
