Question

You sell 3 hamburgers at $2.10 each plus 0.38 tax. A customer gives you a $10.00 bill. How much change does he get?

Answer 1

The customer's change would be 3.32

Answer 2

Given is the Rate of each hamburger = 2.10 dollars each.

The number of hamburgers that we sell = 3 hamburgers.

Charges for all 3 hamburgers = 3 x 2.10 = 6.30 dollars.

Tax charged on these 3 hamburgers = 0.38 dollars.

Total Bill = Charges for 3 hamburgers + Tax

Total Bill = 6.30 + 0.38 = 6.68 dollars.

Customer paid = 10 dollars.

The amount to be returned to customer = Bill paid by customer - Total Bill charged = 10 - 6.68 = 3.32 dollars.

Hence, the customer would get a change of 3.32 dollars.
