Answer to Problem 1PRT

  $1.98\text{ dollars}$

Explanation of Solution

Given:

Paid for gum = 1.59 dollars

Paid for package of notebooks = 1.29 dollars

Total money given by Addison = 5 dollars

Tax = 0.14 dollars

Calculation:

Total price for the items =Paid of gum + Paid for package of notebooks + Tax

  $\begin{array}{l}p=1.59+1.29+0.14\\ p=3.02\text{ dollars}\end{array}$

Now,

Change = Total money given by Addison - Total price for the items

  $\begin{array}{l}P=5-3.02\\ P=1.98\text{ dollars}\end{array}$

Conclusion:

Hence, Addison should receive 1.98 dollars.
