Elsa bought cheese for $4.78 and potatoes for $2.62. She paid with a $10 bill. How much change would she get back? $ ______________

Answer 1

To calculate the change Elsa would receive, first, add the costs of the cheese and potatoes:

\[ 4.78 + 2.62 = 7.40 \]

Next, subtract the total cost from the amount she paid:

\[ 10.00 - 7.40 = 2.60 \]

Thus, Elsa would get back $2.60.
