Question

a customer buys 17.01 in gas and requests one five dollor[$5] lottery ticket , two one dollar [$1] ticket , and one [$3] lottery ticket . he gives you two winning tickets to be redeemed : one for ($5) and the other one for ($2) . how much change would he recieve from a $100 bill ?

Answer 1

17.01 + 5 +2 + 3 = 27.01

Discount for winning tickets = 5+2 = 7

So total due = 27.01 - 7 = 20.01

$100 less $20.01 = $79.99
