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? (1 point)

Answer 1

To find the amount of change, \( c \), that Mela receives after buying a pair of shoes that costs $40.99 and giving the cashier $50, we can set up the following equation:

\[ c = 50 - 40.99 \]

Now, let's calculate the change:

\[ c = 50 - 40.99 = 9.01 \]

So, Mela's change is $9.01.
