The actual answer is actually c + 40.99 = 50.
To find the amount of change Mela receives, we need to subtract the total cost of the shoes from the amount of money she gives to the cashier. We can represent this as the equation:
c + 50 = 40.99
Here, c represents the amount of change Mela receives. The equation shows that the change added to the $50 given to the cashier equals the total cost of the shoes ($40.99).
Now, let's solve the equation to find the value of c:
c = 40.99 - 50
c = -9.01
So, Mela receives $9.01 in change.
Therefore, the correct equation is:
c + 50 = 40.99
And Mela receives $9.01 in change.
c + 40.99 = 50; Mela receives $9.01 in change.
The correct equation to find the amount of change, c, Mela receives is:
c = 50 - 40.99
Now let's calculate the change:
c = 50 - 40.99
c = 9.01
Therefore, Mela receives $9.01 in change.
