1. Alex bought 2 buckets of baseballs that cost $19.49 each, a bat that cost $125.50, and 2 pair of baseball socks that totaled $29.50. The tax on Alex's purchases equaled $16. How much change did Alex receive if he paid with three $100 bills?​

$90.02

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve

Formula: Change money = paid money – bill. Paid money = change + bill.

Given: 2 buckets of baseballs that cost $19.49 each

A bat that cost $125.50, and 2 pairs of baseball socks that totaled $29.50

Tax on Alex's purchases equaled $16.

Paid with three $100 bills.

To find: How much change Alex received if he paid with three $100 bills

Total payment + Total Tax  -Total cost

19.49 + 125.50 + 29.50  = 174.49 (Don't add the $16 tax because that will be taken from the amount we pay)

∴, three 100 bills is 300

So, 300 - 174.49 = 109.51

109.51 - 16 = 90.51

90.51 - 0.49 = $90.02

-1   1/6.   you dont subtract the denominators
