Question

Donna's father stopped to put gasoline in the car after he picked Donna up from school. In addition to buying gasoline, he bought juice and granola bars for himself and Donna. His receipt is shown below. If Donna's father paid with $40, how much change did he receive?

A) $3.62
B) $3.72
C) $4.62
D) $4.72

Answer 1

Donna's father received $0.72 in change.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine how much change Donna's father received, we need to subtract the total cost of his purchases from the amount he paid. The total cost of his purchases can be found by adding the cost of gasoline, juice, and granola bars. From the receipt, we can see that the gasoline cost $34.88, the juice cost $2.45, and the granola bars cost $1.95. Therefore, the total cost of his purchases is $34.88 + $2.45 + $1.95 = $39.28. Next, we subtract this total cost from the amount Donna's father paid: $40 - $39.28 = $0.72.
