Tom will get back $8.58 of change.
Solution:
Given that
Rate at which Tom purchased a chain = $2.36 for a yard
Quantity of purchase = 0.6 yards
Amount given by Tom to cashier = $10
Need to determine change he will get back from cashier.
Cost of 1 yard of chain = $2.36
So cost of 0.6 yard of chain = 0.6 [tex]\times[/tex] 2.36 = 1.416
On rounding off we get 1.42
Amount tom will receive back = Amount given by tom to cashier – Cost of 0.6 yard of chain
= 10 – 1.42 = 8.58
Hence Tom will get back $8.58 of change.
