Fred paid 4.90 total for bananas, after a 3 dollar coupon and 8.29 for peaches with a $20 dollar bill how much change did Fred receive?

Solution

Let's break this down step by step:

1. Bananas:

  • Fred paid $4.90 after using a $3 coupon.
  • The total cost of the bananas before applying the coupon was:
    4.90+3=7.90 dollars4.90 + 3 = 7.90 \text{ dollars}

2. Peaches:

  • Fred paid $8.29 for peaches.

3. Total cost:

Now, the total amount Fred spent is: 7.90+8.29=16.19 dollars7.90 + 8.29 = 16.19 \text{ dollars}

4. Payment and Change:

Fred paid with a $20 bill. To find the change, subtract the total cost from the $20: 2016.19=3.81 dollars20 - 16.19 = 3.81 \text{ dollars}

Final Answer:

Fred received $3.81 in change.
