Question

Thomas works for a company that occupies a large campus. Every workday, he orders a cup of coffee on campus, and the $1.50 cost is automatically deducted from his paycheck. If Thomas visits the coffee shop 13 times, what will the net change in his paycheck be?
A.
-$19.50
B.
-$15
C.
-$13.50
D.
$13.50

Answer 1

Answer:

A.

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiple the price of the coffee by how many visits he makes: 1.5*13=19.5

So if $19.50 is deducted from his paycheck, he will receive $19.50 less when he receives his paycheck, therefore the net change is -$19.50.
