Plz Help!!!!!

Answer 1

Its a total of $17.07 so he should expect $2.93 

Answer 2

Change is the amount we get back after paying for the commodity.

Change = Money paid – The bill amount

Cost of the box of cereal = $3.98

Cost of Hamburger = $5.76

Cost of tomatoes = $2.87

Cost of milk = $4.46

Total cost of the four items = 3.98 + 5.76 + 2.87 + 4.46 =$17.07

Amount with Charlie = $20

Amount left with Charlie after paying $17.07

= 20 - 17.07

=20.00 - 17.07

=$2.93

So Charlie must expect to get back $2.93 as change.
