To determine how much change Jose should receive, we first need to calculate the total cost of his purchases:
1. Cost of sodas:
\[
2 \times 1.29 = 2.58
\]
2. Cost of the bag of chips:
\[
2.76
\]
3. Cost of the box of cookies:
\[
4.53
\]
Now, we add these amounts together to get the total cost:
\[
2.58 + 2.76 + 4.53
\]
Calculating step by step:
- First, add the cost of the sodas and the bag of chips:
\[
2.58 + 2.76 = 5.34
\]
- Next, add the cost of the box of cookies:
\[
5.34 + 4.53 = 9.87
\]
The total cost of his purchases is $9.87.
Now, subtract this total from the amount Jose gave to the cashier:
\[
20.00 - 9.87 = 10.13
\]
Therefore, the amount of change Jose should receive is **$10.13**.
