Question

Alessandra gives the gas station attendant $50, but her car only needed $34.26 in gasoline. What is the amount of change Alessandra should receive?

Answer 1

To find the amount of change Alessandra should receive, we need to subtract the cost of gasoline from the amount she gave to the gas station attendant.

Amount given: $50.00
Cost of gasoline: $34.26

Now, we perform the subtraction:

\[
50.00 - 34.26 = 15.74
\]

So, the amount of change Alessandra should receive is **$15.74**.
