Carol bought a pair of jeans for $12.95 and a belt for $3.79. The sales tax is $1.01. Carol gave the store clerk a $20.00 bill. How much change should she get back?
Calculate total cost:
Total cost = Jeans + Belt + Sales Tax
Total cost = $12.95 + $3.79 + $1.01
Total cost = $17.75
Calculate Change
Change = Carol's payment - Total cost
Change = $20 - $17.75
Change = $2.25
