Question

Scott had 20.00. He purchased two granola bars for 1.59 and two bottles of juice for 1.75 each. There was no sales tax. How much money did Scott have left after his purchase?

Answer 1

If you would like to know how much money did Scott have left after his purchase, you can calculate this using the following steps:

20.00 - 2 * 1.59 - 2 * 1.75 = 20.00 - 3.18 - 3.5 = 13.32

Result: Scott had 13.32 after his purchase.

Answer 2

  2(1.59) +  2(1.75) = 20.00.   The total cost  was $ 6.68.   So 20.00 -6.68  is going to be   $ 13.32 change left
