Question

Carmen wants to buy a snack that cost $3.74 including tax. Carmen gives the cashier $10 which equation can be used to find the amount of change,x, that Carmen receives . How much change did she receive

Answer 1

To find the amount of change Carmen receives, we need to subtract the cost of the snack from the amount she gave the cashier.

Let's assume Carmen received x amount of change.

The equation that can be used to find the amount of change, x, is:

$10 - $3.74 = x

Simplifying the equation:

$6.26 = x

Therefore, Carmen received $6.26 in change.
