Farmer wants to buy tonight that cost $3.74 and put in tax Karma 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 ax + 3.74 = 10 Karma received six dollars and 26 Cents and change BX + 10 = 3.74 Karma receives $13.74 and change cx-3.74 = 10 Karma receives $13.74 and change DX - 10 = 3.74 carbon received 6.26 and change

1 answer

To find the amount of change \( X \) that Karma receives after buying an item that costs $3.74 and giving the cashier $10, you can set up the following equation:

  1. The total amount given to the cashier is $10.
  2. The cost of the item is $3.74.
  3. The change \( X \) that Karma receives can be calculated as the difference between the amount given and the cost of the item.

Thus, the equation can be set up as follows:

\[ 10 - 3.74 = X \]

This simplifies to:

\[ X = 10 - 3.74 \]

Solving this gives:

\[ X = 6.26 \]

Therefore, Karma receives $6.26 in change.

From the options you provided, the correct equation that corresponds to this reasoning is:

D: \( X - 10 = 3.74 \).

However, this equation appears incorrect as it does not accurately represent the situation. The correct equation should be \( 10 - 3.74 = X \), which is not listed among your options.

Thus, the value of change Karma received is $6.26.
