C. $0.85
D. $25.85

Respuesta :

B. $5.85

All what she gave the sales clerk added up to 230 then you do 224.15 - 230 = 5.85

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

If Magdelena has to pay $224.15 for a video game console and she has 3 fifty-dollar bills, 2 twenty-dollars bills and 4 ten-dollar bills she will have a total of:

[tex]=3*50+2*20+4*10=150+40+40=230[/tex]

She has $230 so therefore if she gives this to the sales clerk she will recieve change in the amount of:

[tex]=230-224.15=5.85[/tex]

She will recieve $5.85 change.
