Question

If Joshua bought some pencils for 2.00 and some crayons for 1.00,and paid with 5.00 what will be the change that Joshua got back?

Answer 1

To find the total amount of money that Joshua has to pay, you need to add $2.00 and $1.00,

2 + 1 = 3.

This means that the total cost of Joshua's shopping trip was $3.00.

Joshua paid with $5.00. 5 is greater than 3. This means that Joshua paid more than he needed to. You need to figure out how much change he will get back since he paid more than what his items cost.

To find the amount of change Joshua will get back, you need to take the amount he paid ($5.00) and subtract the amount that the items cost ($3.00).

5 - 3 = 2

This means that Joshua will get $2.00 in change back.

Answer 2

Hello William ,

You have to find out the total cost of two things you purchased,

For pencils you spend , $ 2.00

For crayons you spend, $1.00 +

Total money you spend 2.00 + 1.00 =$3.00

You paid the money of $5.00 , but your total cost is $3.00

subtracting, $5.00 - $3.00 = $2.00

Joshua got back the $2.00 changes

Hope it will help you .
