Y would you do this so kids cant see the awnser
To find out how much change Rachel will get back, we need to determine the cost of the apples and subtract it from the amount she gave the clerk.
Given that a pound of apples costs $1.20, we can calculate the total cost of two and a half pounds of apples by multiplying the cost per pound by 2.5:
1.20 * 2.5 = $3.00
Therefore, the cost of the apples Rachel bought is $3.00.
To find the amount of change, we subtract the cost of the apples from the amount Rachel gave the clerk:
$5.00 (Amount given) - $3.00 (Cost of apples) = $2.00
Rachel will receive $2.00 as change.
