First, let's determine the correct change Winnie should receive after buying the present.
1. The cost of the present is $3.72.
2. Winnie pays with a $5 bill.
3. The correct change should be:
\[
5.00 - 3.72 = 1.28
\]
So, Winnie should receive $1.28 in change. However, the cashier mistakenly gives her $3.72 in change.
To find out how much Winnie needs to give back to the cashier to correct the mistake, we can calculate:
1. The cash received by Winnie from the cashier is $3.72.
2. She should have only received $1.28.
To correct the mistake:
\[
3.72 - 1.28 = 2.44
\]
Winnie needs to give the cashier $2.44 back to correct the mistake.
