Answer:

$Change = \$8.82$

Explanation:

Given

$Basketball = \$25.57$

$Air\ Pump = \$15.61$

$Amount = \$50$

Required

Determine the change received

First, we need to calculate the total amount spent

$Total = \$25.57 + \$15.61$

$Total = \$41.18$

This implies that Natalie pays a total of $41.18

Next, we calculate the change as thus:

Change = Amount - Total

$Change = \$50 - \$41.18$

$Change = \$8.82$

Hence, the change is $8.82
