Carmen wants to buy a snack that costs $3.74 including tax. Carmen gives the cashier $10. Which equation can be used to find the amount of change, x, that Carmen receives? How much change did she receive?

1 answer

The equation that can be used to find the amount of change, x, that Carmen receives is:

x = amount given - cost of the snack

Substituting the given values, we have:

x = $10 - $3.74

x = $6.26

Carmen received $6.26 in change.
