Question

Eliana has saved all her receipts from buying snacks at the corner store. On her 6 receipts, the amounts spent were:
$3.00$3.00$2.00$7.00$1.00$2.00
What was the range of the amounts spent?

Answer 1

To find the range of the amounts spent, we need to identify the maximum and minimum amounts from Eliana's receipts.

The amounts she spent are:
- $3.00
- $3.00
- $2.00
- $7.00
- $1.00
- $2.00

First, let's determine the maximum amount:
- The maximum amount is \(7.00\).

Next, we determine the minimum amount:
- The minimum amount is \(1.00\).

Now we can calculate the range, which is the difference between the maximum and minimum values:

\[
\text{Range} = \text{Maximum} - \text{Minimum} = 7.00 - 1.00 = 6.00
\]

Thus, the range of the amounts spent is \(\boxed{6.00}\).
