Problema Solution
Five packets of almonds cost 2m dollars. Mandy buys 3 packets of almonds. How much change does she receive if she paid with a $10 bill? Give your answer in terms of m.
Answer provided by our tutors
x = packets of almonds
5x = 2m dollars => x = 0.40m dollars per packet
3 packs of almonds: 3(0.40) = 1.20m dollars
Pays with $10 bill: (10 - 1.20)m = 8.80m
Mandy receives 8.80m in change.
