Question

Tony buys CD that is priced at $13.59. Ha has a coupon for $1.85 off. He pays with a $20 bill. Which is the best whole number estimate of how much change he gets?

Answer 1

Tony will get $8.26 back.

Here's why:

First, let's take $1.85 away from $13.59, because he has a coupon. That leaves us with $11.74

Second, do $20 - $11.74 to get your answer, $8.26
