Question

At the store Janet purchased 1.5 pounds of ham for $4.99 per pound and 0.75 pounds for $2.50 per pound. If she gave the cashier $10, how much change did she receive?

Answer 1

Answer:

She will receive 64 cents in change.

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost per pound of ham = $4.99

Pounds bought = 1.5

Cost of 1.5 pounds = 4.99 * 1.5 = $7.485

Cost per pound of other item = $2.50

Pounds bought = 0.75

Cost of 0.75 pounds = 0.75 * 2.50 = $1.875

Total = 7.485 + 1.875 = $9.36

Amount paid = $10

Change received = 10 - 9.36 = $0.64

Therefore,

She will receive 64 cents in change.
