Question

Mr. Stein is purchasing a 2.25 pounds of meat that cost $2.80 per pound. How much will he receive if he pays the cashier $20.00

Answer 1

He will receive $13.70.

You would have to multiply 2.25 by 2.80 to get 6.30, which is the total cost due. Subtract 6.30 from 20 to get your answer, 13.70, or the change Mr. Stein will receive.
