Question

Jimmy is selling used books at a yard sale. A customer buys 9 books at a cost of $0.75 each and pays with a $20.00 bill. Jimmy must determine c, the amount of change in dollars he should give the customer. Which equation represents c?

Answer 1

Answer: .75(9)+c=20

Explanation: Took the quiz

Answer 2

C= 20-0.75x
c= 20-0.75(9)
c= 20-6.75
c= 13.25

Here c is the amount of change and x is the number of books bought.

The customer's change will be $13.25
