Math Problem Statement
The table shows the prices of seafood items at a local seafood market in Galveston, Texas. Felecia orders two pounds of shrimp, six blue crabs and three red snapper fillets. The seafood market charges a convenience fee of $5 per order. Felecia paid with a $100 bill.
Seafood Price List Item Price Blue Crabs $16.50 (per dozen) Red Snapper Fillet $7.79 (per fillet) Shrimp $12.99 (per pound)
How much change should Felecia receive from the $100 bill?
Solution
Let's break down the calculation step by step:
Prices and Quantities:
-
Shrimp: $12.99 per pound, and Felecia orders 2 pounds.
- Cost of shrimp:
-
Blue Crabs: $16.50 per dozen, and Felecia orders 6 blue crabs.
- Since 6 blue crabs are half of a dozen, the cost of blue crabs is:
-
Red Snapper Fillets: $7.79 per fillet, and Felecia orders 3 fillets.
- Cost of red snapper fillets:
Total Cost Before Fees:
Now, let's sum up the costs:
Convenience Fee:
The seafood market charges a $5 convenience fee:
Amount Paid and Change:
Felecia pays with a $100 bill. To find the change, subtract the total cost from the amount she paid:
Answer:
Felecia should receive $37.40 in change.
