Question

Natalie buys a basketball for $25.57 and an air pump for $15.61. How much change will she receive if she pays for both items with a $50 bill?

Answer 1

Answer:

$Change = \ 8.82$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$Basketball = \ 25.57$

$Air\ Pump = \ 15.61$

$Amount = \ 50$

Required

Determine the change received

First, we need to calculate the total amount spent

$Total = \ 25.57 + \ 15.61$

$Total = \ 41.18$

This implies that Natalie pays a total of $41.18

Next, we calculate the change as thus:

$Change = Amount - Total$

$Change = \ 50 - \ 41.18$

$Change = \ 8.82$

Hence, the change is $8.82
