Question

Catalina bought crackers for $2.41 and cheese for $1.86. She paid with a $10 bill. How much change would she get back? $ ______________

Answer 1

To find out how much change Catalina would get back, first, we need to calculate the total cost of the crackers and cheese:

Total cost = Cost of crackers + Cost of cheese
Total cost = $2.41 + $1.86

Now, let's add these amounts:

\[
2.41 + 1.86 = 4.27
\]

So, the total cost is $4.27.

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

Change = Amount paid - Total cost
Change = $10.00 - $4.27

Now, let's calculate the change:

\[
10.00 - 4.27 = 5.73
\]

Therefore, Catalina would get back $5.73 in change.

The final answer is:

$5.73
