Anton buys a book for $8.75. He pays with a $10 bill. Let c represent the change he receives.

Question

8.75 + c = 10 .

Answer 1

To find the change Anton receives, we need to subtract the cost of the book from the amount he paid with.

c = 10 - 8.75

To simplify the equation, we subtract 8.75 from 10.

c = 1.25

Therefore, Anton receives $1.25 change.
