Question

A backpack at the store cost $24.49. A pack of markers at the same store cost $3.82. You pay for both the backpack and pack of markers with a $50 bill. How much change will you receive?

Answer 1

You will receive $21.69, assuming there's no tax ;).

I added the 24.49 to the 3.82 and got 28.31, then subtracted that from 50.
