"What is the cost of an orange?" Sue asked the store clerk. "If you buy two oranges and give me a dime, I will give you forty cents change from two dollars, " replied the store clerk. How much does one orange cost?

Respuesta :

From the calculation done below, it can be seen that the cost of one orange is 85 cents.

How do we determine the cost of a product?

The cost of one orange can be determined as follows:

One dime = 10 cents

2 dollars = 200 cents

Total amount given by Sue to the store clerk = One dime + 2 dollars = 10 cents + 200 cents = 210 cents

Cost of two oranges = Total amount given by Sue to the store clerk –

Change = 210 cents – 40 cents = 170 cents

Cost of one orange = Cost of two oranges / 2 = 170 cents / 2 = 85 cents
