Question

A customer buys 17.01 in gas and request one five dollar lottery ticket two one dollar lottery tickets and one three lottery ticket he gives you two winning tickets to be redeemed one for five and the other for two how much change would he receive from 100 bill

Answer 1

He would receive $79.99. You start off with 17.01, then add 5, then add 2, then add 3. Now you have 27.01. 27.01 is the amount he needs to pay. Since he is redeeming money from two tickets, add 5 and 2, that gives you 7. But he is paying with a 100 bill, you'll add 7 to that and then you have 107. 107 - 27.01 is 79.99. Unless you don't add the redeemed money then the change is $72.99.

Answer 2

The store clerk gave the customer:

Gas. . . . . . . . . 17.01
$5 ticket . . . . . . 5
$3 ticket . . . . . . 3
2 x $1 ticket . . . 2

Total. . . . . . .  $27.01


The customer gave the store clerk:

$5 ticket . . .  5
$2 ticket . . .  2
cash. . . . . 100

Total. . . . $107

The store clerk owes the customer  ($107 - $27.01)  =  $ 79.99  .
