Question

Cheryl bought a sandwich for 5 1/2 dollars and a drink for $2.60 if she paid with a ten dollar bill how much money did she have left

Answer 1

If Cheryl paid $8.10 using a ten dollar bill, then her change would be $1.90.

Answer 2

The amount Cheryl will have left will be $1.90

• Total amount she had = 10 dollars
• Total amount she spent on sandwich = $5\frac{1}{2}$ dollars (which is also expressed as 5.5)
• Total amount she spent on a drink = 2.60 dollars

Further Explanation

To determine the amount she has left, the amount she spent on sandwich and a drink will be added together, then the resulting value will be subtracted from the total amount.

Therefore,

• let the amount she will have left be L; L = ?
• Let amount she spent on sandwich be S; S = 5.5
• Let amount she spent of a drink be D; D = 2.60
• Let the total amount she had be T; T = 10

Hence L = T – (S + D)

Thus,

Deriving the amount she spent on sandwich and a drink:

= S + D

= 5.5 + 2.60

= 8.1

S + D = 8.1

Recall, L = T – (S + D)

Recall T = 10

Therefore,

L = 10 – (8.1)

L = 10 – 8.1

L = 1.90

Therefore, Cheryl will have $1.90 left.

The above expression is a number problem, and was solved with the aid of adding some significant numerical values together, and ultimately subtracting it from another number to get a final answer.

The Addition and Subtraction of the number values are functions of BODMAS.
