Matt and his siblings bought their mom her favorite perfume for her birthday. They gave the cashier $80. The cashier gave them back 1 ten-dollar bill, 1 five-dollar bill, 8 dimes, and 1 nickel as change. How much did the perfume cost?

$64.15

Step-by-step explanation:

to solve this problem, first we should figure out how much money that the cashier gave them back, and then subtract that from $80 (which was what Matt and his siblings gave the cashier) to find out how much the perfume cost.

it is given that:

they gave the cashier $80.

the cashier gave them back 1 ten-dollar bill ($10), 1 five-dollar bill ($5), 8 dimes ($0.80 or 80 cents) , and 1 nickel ($0.05 or 5 cents)

$10+$5+$0.80+$0.05=$15.85

the total amount of money that the cashier gave them back is $15.85

to find how much the perfume cost:

$80-$15.85=$64.15

so, the perfume cost $64.15

46 dollars is the answer.
