Kristine has a $10 bill to spend at a book fair. She buys one book for $4.95, two bookmarks for $0.65 each, and a key chain for $1.85. How much change should Kristine receive from her $10 bill?
A $2.55
B $2.10
C $3.45
D $1.90
just add up her purchases, and subtract that total from 10.00
To find out how much change Kristine should receive from her $10 bill, first, let's calculate the total amount she spends at the book fair.
Kristine buys one book for $4.95.
She buys two bookmarks for $0.65 each, so the total for both bookmarks is 2 * $0.65 = $1.30.
She also buys a key chain for $1.85.
Now, let's add these amounts to find the total amount she spends:
$4.95 + $1.30 + $1.85 = $8.10
To find the change Kristine should receive, subtract the total amount she spends from her $10 bill:
$10 - $8.10 = $1.90
Therefore, Kristine should receive $1.90 change from her $10 bill.
The correct answer is D) $1.90.
To get the answer to this question, we need to calculate the total amount Kristine spends and then subtract it from her $10 bill.
First, let's calculate the amount spent on each item:
- The book costs $4.95.
- Two bookmarks cost $0.65 each, so the total for both bookmarks is $0.65 x 2 = $1.30.
- The key chain costs $1.85.
Now, let's calculate the total amount spent:
$4.95 (book) + $1.30 (bookmarks) + $1.85 (key chain) = $8.10
Finally, we subtract the amount spent from the $10 bill:
$10.00 - $8.10 = $1.90
So, the answer is D $1.90. Kristine should receive $1.90 in change from her $10 bill.
