Answer:
If Susan receives $ in return, then she would have payed $
to begin with.
Step-by-step explanation:
The price for items:
- Chicken price per package = $12.36
- The price of broccoli per pound = $1.98
- The price of 1 gallon of milk = $3.49
Her shopping items:
- Chicken price for two packages = 2 × 12.36 = $24.72
- The price of broccoli 1/2 pound = 1.98/2 = $0.99
- The price of 1 gallon of milk = $3.49
As there are no sales tax
Therefore, adding her shopping items:
$24.72 + $0.99 + $3.49 - $0 = $29.2
If Susan receives $ in return, then she would have payed $
to begin with.
