Answer:

$4.38

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we need to find out how much the item costs with the sales tax. 4.5% is also equal to 0.045. We can multiply 14.95 by 0.045 to get the sales tax. This would end up to be 0.67275 which we can round to 0.67. We can now add 0.67 to 14.95 to get $15.62. Since we gave the cashier a $20 bill we need to subtract 20 by 15.62 to get $4.38.

It takes two apples to make an apple pie. If a chef bought nine apples, the last pie

Hey!

-------------------------------------------------

If a chef bought 9 apples and each pie takes 2 apples then all we have to do is divide.

9 / 2 = 4.5

4 full pies can be made with 9 apples.

4 x 2 = 8 (apples were used to make 4 pies.)

9 - 8 = 1 (apple remaining)

If one pie needs 2 apples, subtract.

2 - 1 = 1 (pies the chef needs to make the last one)
