Question

If the train ride costs 55 cents and Snowball pays 3 dollars. She will get back as change.
( 1 dollar = 100 cents)

• A. 2 dollars 45 cents
• B. 2 dollars 50 cents
• C. 2 dollars 55 cents

Answer 1

The correct option is A 2 dollars 45 cents

Money Snowball pays = 3 dollars
Cost of the ride = 55 cents
Change she gets back
= 3 dollars - 55 cents

We know that:
3 dollars = 2 dollars + 1 dollar
= 200 cents + 100 cents

100 cents - 55 cents = 45 cents

Therefore, the amount Snowball gets back is 2 dollars and 45 cents.
