Mary bought these art supplies: 4 paint brushes @ $1.29 each, 6 dowel rods @ $1.49 each, a jar of paste @ $1.25, and 2 canvases @ $6.00 each. how much change did she get from $40?

a. $12.65
b. $10.45
c. $8.25
d. $9.35

Option A. $12.65

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question we will add all expenditures done on every individual supply purchased then we will subtract the cumulative amount from total money given = $40

Mary bought 4 brushes @ $1.29

Total cost = 4×1.29 = $5.16

Cost of 6 dowels rods @ $1.49

Total cost = 6×1.49 = $8.94

Cost of a jar of paste @ $1.25

Total cost = $1.25

Cost of 2 canvas @ $6.00

Total cost = 2×6 = $12

Now cumulative cost = 5.16 + 8.94 + 1.25 + 12 = $27.35

She gave $40 so the change she got = 40 - 27.35 = $12.65

Option A. $ 12.65 is the answer.
