Tamara wants to buy a jacket for $15.99 and a blouse for $7.49. If she gives the cashier two $20 bills, how much change should Tamara expect

Answer 1

First, we need to calculate the total cost of the jacket and the blouse:

• Jacket: $15.99
• Blouse: $7.49

Now, let's add these two amounts together:

\[ 15.99 + 7.49 = 23.48 \]

Next, Tamara pays with two $20 bills:

\[ 2 \times 20 = 40 \]

Now, we subtract the total cost from the amount she paid to find out how much change she will receive:

\[ 40 - 23.48 = 16.52 \]

Therefore, Tamara should expect $16.52 in change.
