Question

2. Mrs. Murphy bought 3 boxes of cereal at $2.98 each, 1 gallon of milk for $4.99, a bottle of Lysol wipes for $5.99 and 2 loaves of bread for $3.99 each. She paid 6% tax on the Lysol wipes. What other information is necessary to find Mrs. Murphy's correct change?

Answer 1

We do not know how much money Mrs Murphy handed to cashier. We need that info in order to know how much change to give back

Answer 2

We need to know how much money she handed the cashier, to be able to calculate the change she should get back.

Explanation:

3 x 2.98 = 8.94

1 x 4.99 = 4.99

2 x 3.99 = 7.98

5.99 + (5.99 x 0.06) = 6.35

8.94 + 4.99 + 7.98 + 6.35 = 28.26

(Did this in case you get hit with a part 2 and need to calculate it out) :)
