of the cost of Tristan's helmet. If Zeke gives the cashier a $20 bill, how much change will he receive

Zeke's helmet costs $\frac{3}{5}$ of Tristan's helmet cost.

1. First, calculate the cost of Zeke's helmet:

\[
\text{Zeke's helmet cost} = \frac{3}{5} \times 28.75 = \frac{3}{5} \times 28.75 = 17.25
\]

2. Now, find the change Zeke will receive after giving the cashier a $20 bill:

\[
\text{Change} = 20 - 17.25 = 2.75
\]

Zeke will receive **$2.75** in change.

1. What if Zeke's helmet cost $\frac{4}{5}$ of Tristan's helmet?
2. How much would Zeke's change be if he paid with a $50 bill instead?
3. What would be the combined cost of both Zeke and Tristan's helmets?
4. If Tristan got a 10% discount, how much would his helmet cost?
5. How much would Zeke need to pay if his helmet was $\frac{7}{10}$ of Tristan's?
