Question

David purchased 1.5 pounds of apples that cost 3.60 per pound. If he gave the cashier a twenty dollar bill, how much change would he receive?

Answer 1

He would get 14.60 back.

1 pound = 3.60
.5 pound = 1.80
1.5 pounds = 5.40
So then you subtract 5.40 from 20
20 - 5.40 = 14.60

Answer 2

He would receive $14.6 reason: 1.5x3.6=5.4,,,,20-5.4=14.6
