Question

Janelle plans to buy three boxes of popcorn at the movies for herself and two friends. If each box costs $1.95, how much change will she receive when she pays with a ten-dollar bill?

Answer 1

She will receive `$4.15` in change.

Explanation:

So since she is buying three boxes of popcorn, you multiply it by the price of the popcorn as shown below:

`1.95*3=5.85`

You subtract the amount she given to the person then the cost of three popcorn as shown below:

`10.00-5.85=4.15`

So she receives `$4.15` in change.
