To find out how much change Dennard should receive, we first need to calculate the total cost of the cheese and turkey he bought.
-
Calculate the cost of cheese:
- Weight of cheese: \(1 \frac{3}{4}\) pounds = \(1.75\) pounds
- Price per pound for cheese: \($7.60\)
- Total cheese cost: \[ 1.75 , \text{pounds} \times 7.60 , \text{dollars/pound} = 13.30 , \text{dollars} \]
-
Calculate the cost of turkey:
- Weight of turkey: \(2 \frac{1}{5}\) pounds = \(2.2\) pounds
- Price per pound for turkey: \($8.75\)
- Total turkey cost: \[ 2.2 , \text{pounds} \times 8.75 , \text{dollars/pound} = 19.25 , \text{dollars} \]
-
Calculate the total cost:
- Total cost = Cost of cheese + Cost of turkey \[ 13.30 + 19.25 = 32.55 , \text{dollars} \]
-
Calculate the amount paid:
- Dennard pays with two $20 bills: \[ 20 + 20 = 40 , \text{dollars} \]
-
Calculate the change:
- Change = Amount paid - Total cost \[ 40 - 32.55 = 7.45 , \text{dollars} \]
Therefore, the amount of change Dennard should receive is \($7.45\).
