Mr. Shaw is making hamburgers for the cookout at his family reunion. He buys 12 lbs of meat at
$3.19 per pound and 6 packages of buns at
$1.49 each. If he gives the store clerk $50, how
much change should he receive?

Respuesta :

Answer:

He should receive $2.78

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiply 12 by 3.19 to get 38.28

then multiply 6 by 1.49 to get 8.94

Next you want to add 38.28 and 8.49 to get a total of 47.22

Last you want to subtract 50 from 47.22 to get your answer of 2.78 in which Mr. Shaw received $2.78
