Question

Tyler paid $2. 47 for an item and gave the sales clerk a 5-dollar bill. How much change did Tyler get back?

Answer 1

To determine how much change Tyler got back, you need to subtract the cost of the item from the amount he gave the sales clerk:

Change = Amount given - Cost of item

In this case, Tyler gave the sales clerk a 5-dollar bill and the cost of the item was $2.47. So, the change he got back was:

Change = $5.00 - $2.47 = $2.53

Therefore, Tyler got back $2.53 in change.
