Erik and Richard order pasta for $5.80, salad for $5.80, and 2 glasses of lemonade for $2.50 each. The tax is $1.30. How much change should they get from $20.00?
$2.10
I hope that helps
To calculate the change they should get from $20.00, we need to find the total amount they spent on food and drinks, including tax, and then subtract it from $20.00.
First, let's find the total cost of the pasta and the salad:
The pasta and the salad each cost $5.80.
So the total cost for the pasta and the salad is $5.80 + $5.80 = $11.60.
Next, let's find the total cost of the lemonade:
Each glass of lemonade costs $2.50.
Since Erik and Richard ordered 2 glasses of lemonade, the total cost of the lemonade is $2.50 x 2 = $5.00.
Now, let's find the total cost of the food and drinks without tax:
The total cost of the pasta, salad, and lemonade is $11.60 + $5.00 = $16.60.
Finally, let's calculate the total cost of food and drinks with tax:
The tax is $1.30.
So the total cost of food and drinks with tax is $16.60 + $1.30 = $17.90.
To find the change they should get, subtract the total cost from $20.00:
Change = $20.00 - $17.90 = $2.10.
Therefore, Erik and Richard should get $2.10 in change from their $20.00.
