During back-to-school week, all school supplies are tax-free. Rajiv took advantage of this sale and bought a ruler for $0.79, three pens for $1.49 each, and two notebooks for $2.25 each. Rajiv paid using a $10 bill. How much change did he receive?

24 cents
0.79+ (149x3) + (2.25x2)=9.76
i’m from england so our currency’s different but i’m pretty sure you guys say 24cents :)

He has a change of $0.24 after paying for items with a $10 bill

If take note of what he bought, he bought 1 ruler ($0.79), three pens ($4.47), and two notebooks ($4.50). So when you add them up, you get a total of $9.76 for all of the items, and since he payed with a ten dollar bill, we subtract 10 by the total ($9.76) and you get 0.24.
