Question

Britney is buying a shirt and a hat at the mall. The shirt costs $32.29, and the hat costs $19.59. If Britney gives the sales clerk $100.00, how much change should she receive? (Ignore sales tax.)
A.
$45.02
B.
$57.87
C.
$51.88
D.
$48.12

Answer 1

To find out how much change Britney should receive, first, we need to calculate the total cost of the shirt and the hat.

Cost of the shirt: $32.29
Cost of the hat: $19.59

Now, add the two amounts together:

\[
32.29 + 19.59 = 51.88
\]

Now, subtract the total cost from the amount Britney gives to the clerk:

\[
100.00 - 51.88 = 48.12
\]

So, Britney should receive **$48.12** in change.

The correct answer is **D. $48.12**.
