Tara is buying a shirt and a hat at the mall. The shirt costs $31.67, and the hat costs $19.81. If she gave the sales clerk $100.00, how much change should she receive?
(ignore sales tax)
A.
$68.33
B.
$48.52
C.
$38.52
D.
$80.19
First, we need to calculate the total cost of the shirt and hat. The shirt costs $31.67 and the hat costs $19.81 for a total of $31.67 + $19.81 = $<<31.67+19.81=51.48>>51.48
Next, we need to subtract the total cost from the amount she gave the sales clerk to find the change. $100.00 – $51.48 = $<<100-51.48=48.52>>48.52
Therefore, Tara should receive $48.52 in change, so the answer is B. $48.52
