Answer:
Option (1) is correct
The amount she receives back from $40 is $12.65
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: Mary bought the art supplies.
4 paint brushes @ $1.29 each, 6 dowel rods @ $1.49 each, a jar of paste @ $1.25, and 2 canvases @ $6.00 each.
We have to find the change she get from $40.
We first find the total cost of the art supplies.
Since, she brought 4 paint brushes @ $1.29 each,
Thus, cost of 4 paint brush is 1.29 × 4 = $5.16
Also, 6 dowel rods @ $1.49 each,
Thus, cost of 6 dowel rods is 1.49 × 6 = $8.94
Thus, cost of 1 jar of paste is $1.25
and 2 canvases @ $6.00 each
Thus, cost of 2 canvases is $12.00
Thus, total cost of art supplies = 5.16 + 8.94 + 1.25 + 12 =$27.35
Thus, amount she receives back from $40 is $40 - $12.35 = $12.65
