lonny has 15$ to buy some groceroies for his mom.milk costs $2.39,bread costs $1.29.eggs costs $0.79,and mayonnaise costs $2.49. if he buys one of each item, can he expect to get $10 in change?
No- he will get $8.04 change
15 - 2.39 - 1.29 - .79 - 2.49 = 8.04
agree with Amy
no he will get 8.04 in change
To determine whether Lonny can expect to get $10 in change if he buys one of each item, we need to calculate the total cost of the items and subtract it from the amount of money he has.
The cost of milk is $2.39, bread is $1.29, eggs are $0.79, and mayonnaise is $2.49. To find the total cost, we can add up these prices:
Total cost = $2.39 + $1.29 + $0.79 + $2.49
Calculating this, we get:
Total cost = $6.96
Now let's subtract the total cost from the amount of money Lonny has:
Change = $15 - $6.96
Calculating this, we get:
Change = $8.04
Therefore, if Lonny buys one of each item, he can expect to get $8.04 in change, not $10.
