Renowned economist Harold Carlson makes the following prediction: "The balance of payments will decrease if and only if interest rates remain steady; however, it is not the case that either interest rates will not remain steady or the balance of payments will decrease." What can we say about Carlson's prediction?

answer is 1

step-by-step explanation:

amount of apples bought =$ 2.6

amount of peaches bought =$ 1.475

amount given by you to cashier= $ 20

amount received by me= amount given by you to cashier -   [amount of apples bought +amount of peaches bought]

                                        = 20   - [1.475 + 2.6]

                                        = 20 -   [ 4.075]

                                        =   $15.925

so, change received by me = $15.925
