Marie bought 8 pounds of apples for 0.82 per pound and paid for them with a ten dollar bill. How much should she get back in change
To determine how much change Marie should receive, we need to calculate the total cost of the apples and deduct it from the amount she paid.
First, let's calculate the total cost of the apples:
Cost per pound = $0.82
Weight of apples = 8 pounds
Total cost = Cost per pound × Weight of apples = $0.82/pound × 8 pounds = $6.56
Next, we need to subtract the total cost from the amount Marie paid:
Amount paid = $10.00
Change = Amount paid - Total cost = $10.00 - $6.56 = $3.44
Therefore, Marie should receive $3.44 in change.
