Mela wants to buy a pair of shoes that costs $40.99

Question

including tax. She gives the cashier $50
. Which equation can be used to find the amount of change, c
, Mela receives? How much is her change

Answer 1

To find the amount of change \( c \) that Mela receives after buying the shoes, you can use the following equation:

\[ c = 50 - 40.99 \]

Now, let's calculate the change:

\[ c = 50 - 40.99 = 9.01 \]

So, the amount of change Mela receives is \( \text{$}9.01 \).
