Britney is buying a shirt and a hat at the mall. The shirt costs $34.04, and the hat costs $19.18. If Britney gives the sales clerk $100.00, how much change should she receive? (Ignore sales tax.)

Question

A.
$46.78
B.
$56.53
C.
$53.22
D.
$43.68

Answer 1

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

Cost of the shirt: $34.04
Cost of the hat: $19.18

Total cost = Cost of the shirt + Cost of the hat
Total cost = $34.04 + $19.18
Total cost = $53.22

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

Change = Amount given - Total cost
Change = $100.00 - $53.22
Change = $46.78

Therefore, the correct answer is A. $46.78.
