$2 coin. How many cents should he receive in change?

Answer 1

To find out how much change Kenneth should receive, we first need to convert the cost of the donut from dollars to cents.

The cost of the donut is $1.70, which is equivalent to:

\[ 1.70 \text{ dollars} = 1.70 \times 100 = 170 \text{ cents} \]

Kenneth paid with a $2 coin, which is equivalent to:

\[ 2 \text{ dollars} = 2 \times 100 = 200 \text{ cents} \]

Now, we can find the change by subtracting the cost of the donut from the amount he paid:

\[ \text{Change} = 200 \text{ cents} - 170 \text{ cents} = 30 \text{ cents} \]

Therefore, Kenneth should receive 30 cents in change.
