4. Mrs. Sloan is purchasing 3.4 pounds of trail mix that costs $4.25 per pound. How
much change will Mrs. Sloan receive if she gives the cashier $20.00
F. $14.45
G. $12.55
H. $5.55
J. $7.45

The answer is H: $ 5.55

Explanation: you take $ 4.25, which is one pound, and multiply it by how many pounds is being bought, which would be 3.4 pounds, that gives us $14.45, which is the price of 3.4 pounds. We then take $20.00 and take away $14.45. This leaves us with $5.55 which is our change.
