Okay, first you will have to subtract every thing together:
10 - 7.75 = 2.25
2.25 - 0.47 = 1.78
So the cost of her drink is $1.78

Given

Elysse paid for her sandwich and drink with a $10 bill and received $0.63 in change.

The sandwich cost $7.75 and sales tax was $0.47.

Find out the  cost of her drink

To proof

Let the cost of her drink be x.

As given in the question

Elysse paid for her sandwich and drink with a $10 bill and received $0.63 in change.

Elysse paid for her sandwich and drink = 10 - 0.63              

                                                                 =  $ 9.37

sandwich cost $7.75 and sales tax was $0.47

Than the equation becomes

x = 9.37 - (7.75 + 0.47)

x = 9.37 - 8.22

x = $ 1.15

The cost of the drink is $ 1.15.

Hence proved
