At lunch Noah buys two tacos for $2.35 each, chips and salsa for $1.85 and lemonade for $1.60. To pay for his meal, he uses $5.00 from a gift card he has, and then he pays for the rest with a $20.00 bill. Which equation show how much change Noah receives?

Question

$2.35 + $1.85 + $1.60 = $5.80 $ 5.80 - $5.00 = $0.80 $20.00 - $0.80 = $ 19 .20

$2.35 + $1.85 + $1.60 + $5.00 = $10.80 $20.00 - $10.80 = $9.20

$2.35 + $2.35 + $1.85 + $1.60 = $8.15 $8.15 - $5.00 = $3.15 $20. - $3.15 = $16.85

$2.35 + $2.35 + $1.85 + $ 1.60 + $5.00 = $13.15 $20.00 - $13.15 = $6.85

Answer 1

To find out how much change Noah receives, we first need to calculate the total cost of his meal.

1. He buys two tacos:

   • Cost of two tacos: \( 2 \times 2.35 = 4.70 \)

2. Chips and salsa costs $1.85.

3. Lemonade costs $1.60.

Now, we add these costs together: \[ 4.70 + 1.85 + 1.60 = 8.15 \] So, Noah's total meal cost is $8.15.

Next, he pays $5.00 from his gift card, which leaves him with: \[ 8.15 - 5.00 = 3.15 \] This is the remaining amount he needs to cover.

Now he pays the remaining $3.15 with a $20.00 bill. We can calculate his change as follows: \[ 20.00 - 3.15 = 16.85 \]

So, the correct sequence of calculations is represented by: \[ 2.35 + 2.35 + 1.85 + 1.60 = 8.15 \ 8.15 - 5.00 = 3.15 \ 20.00 - 3.15 = 16.85 \]

Thus, the correct equation that shows how much change Noah receives is: \[ \boxed{2.35 + 2.35 + 1.85 + 1.60 = 8.15 \quad 8.15 - 5.00 = 3.15 \quad 20.00 - 3.15 = 16.85} \]
