Ben and Carla each have $10 to spend. They purchase 6 packs of baseball cards for $0.79 each and two balls that cost $5.95 each. if they split the cost evenly, how much change will they receive?
Expression: 10 - 6(0.79) + 2(5.95) /2
First step: Multiply the parentheses.
Second step: Rewrite the equation: 10 - 4.47 + 11.90 /2
Third step: Add 4.47 and 11.90. Then rewrite the expression.
Expression: 10 - 16.64/2
Fourth step: Divide 16.64 and 2.
Rewrite the expression: 10 - 8.32.
Ben and Carla will each have $1.68 left in change after their purchase.
Hope I helped!
