- A.
$7.11
- B.
$25.81
- C.

Correct Answer
D. $59.71Explanation
After Tara pays in the cheque for $52.60, her account balance increases to $42.76 + $52.60 = $95.36. Then, she writes cheques for $4.26, $3.59, and $27.80, which reduces her account balance by $4.26 + $3.59 + $27.80 = $35.65. Therefore, the amount of money left in her account is $95.36 - $35.65 = $59.71.Rate this question:

What is the difference in cost between 0.5 kilograms of red grapes at $4.50 per kilogram and 0.5 kilograms of green grapes at $3.00 per kilogram?
- A.
$0.55
- B.
$0.75

A student buys 4 files at 99¢ each and 2 pads of file paper at $1.20 each. How much change will he receive from $10.00?
- A.
$3.64
- B.
$4.64
- C.
$4.84
- D.
$6.36
Correct Answer
