I'll solve this problem by checking the change given for each purchase from a £10 payment. I need to calculate what the correct change should be and compare it with what's shown in the image.
Let me start by examining the first row, which shows a book priced at £8.99.
First, look closely:
- Item: Book priced at £8.99
- Payment: £10 (shown as one £10 note)
- Change given: Two £1 coins and one 1p coin (totaling £2.01)
I need to verify if this change is correct.
Next, find information:
Let me calculate the correct change for the book.
Correct change = £10.00 - £8.99 = £1.01
The shopkeeper gave £2.01 instead of £1.01, which means they gave £1 too much.
Then, review the findings:
The change given (£2.01) is incorrect. The correct change should be £1.01.
Now let me examine the second row, which shows a t-shirt priced at £9.75.
First, look closely:
- Item: T-shirt priced at £9.75
- Payment: £10 (shown as one £10 note)
- Change given: One 20p coin, one 2p coin, and one 1p coin (totaling £0.23)
Next, find information:
Let me calculate the correct change for the t-shirt.
Correct change = £10.00 - £9.75 = £0.25
The shopkeeper gave £0.23 instead of £0.25, which means they gave 2p too little.
Then, review the findings:
The change given (£0.23) is incorrect. The correct change should be £0.25.
Now let me examine the third row, which shows a globe priced at £9.10.
First, look closely:
- Item: Globe priced at £9.10
- Payment: £10 (shown as one £10 note)
- Change given: One 50p coin and one 20p coin (totaling £0.70)
Next, find information:
Let me calculate the correct change for the globe.
Correct change = £10.00 - £9.10 = £0.90
The shopkeeper gave £0.70 instead of £0.90, which means they gave 20p too little.
Then, review the findings:
The change given (£0.70) is incorrect. The correct change should be £0.90.
Based on my analysis of all three transactions:
1. For the book (£8.99), the correct change is £1.01, but £2.01 was given (incorrect, £1 too much).
2. For the t-shirt (£9.75), the correct change is £0.25, but £0.23 was given (incorrect, 2p too little).
3. For the globe (£9.10), the correct change is £0.90, but £0.70 was given (incorrect, 20p too little).
All three transactions have incorrect change given by the shopkeeper.
