Answer: See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Your question isn't well written but let me help out. I saw a similar question.

Example 1: Aling Luz bought 3/8 yards of linen cloth which cost Php 72.00 per yard. She gave Php 1000.00 to the cashier.How much change will she get?

Since we are informed that Aling Luz bought 3/8 yards of linen cloth which cost Php 72.00 per yard, the amount she'll pay will be:

= 3/8 × 72

= Php 27

Since she gave the cashier Php 1000, her change will be:

= 1000 - 27

= Php 973
