Let's calculate the total cost of Thomas's order and then determine how much change he should receive.
-
Calculate the cost of the items:
-
Doughnut holes: 2 orders at $1.75 each: \[ 2 \times 1.75 = 3.50 \]
-
Cinnamon roll: 1 at $2.69: \[ 2.69 \]
-
Glazed donuts: 3 at $0.96 each: \[ 3 \times 0.96 = 2.88 \]
-
-
Calculate the subtotal: \[ \text{Subtotal} = \text{cost of doughnut holes} + \text{cost of cinnamon roll} + \text{cost of glazed donuts} \] \[ \text{Subtotal} = 3.50 + 2.69 + 2.88 = 9.07 \]
-
Add sales tax:
- Sales tax is given as $0.72. \[ \text{Total cost} = \text{Subtotal} + \text{Sales tax} \] \[ \text{Total cost} = 9.07 + 0.72 = 9.79 \]
-
Calculate change:
- Thomas paid with a $20 bill: \[ \text{Change} = \text{Amount paid} - \text{Total cost} \] \[ \text{Change} = 20.00 - 9.79 = 10.21 \]
Final Answers:
- Thomas owed $9.79.
- He should receive $10.21 in change.
