Let’s solve each receipt one by one, following the 4 steps:
---
Receipt 1: ON THE GO BURGERS
Items:
- 2 Fish Burgers = $5.98
- 1 Sm French Fries = $1.46
- 1 Lg Milk Shake = $3.56
Step 1: Add prices to find subtotal
$5.98 + $1.46 = $7.44
$7.44 + $3.56 =
$11.00 → Subtotal
Step 2: Find tax (7% of subtotal)
7% of $11.00 = 0.07 × 11.00 =
$0.77
Step 3: Add subtotal and tax for total
$11.00 + $0.77 =
$11.77 → Total
Step 4: Subtract total from amount paid to find change
Amount Paid = $15.00
Change = $15.00 - $11.77 =
$3.23

Receipt 2: ¡TACO PRONTO!
Items:
- 3 Churros = $5.82
- 1 Crunchy Taco = $3.15
- 2 Tangy Chkn Tacos = $9.78
Step 1: Add prices to find subtotal
$5.82 + $3.15 = $8.97
$8.97 + $9.78 =
$18.75 → Subtotal
Step 2: Find tax (7% of subtotal)
7% of $18.75 = 0.07 × 18.75 =
$1.3125 → Round to nearest cent =
$1.31
Step 3: Add subtotal and tax for total
$18.75 + $1.31 =
$20.06 → Total
Step 4: Subtract total from amount paid to find change
Amount Paid = $25.00
Change = $25.00 - $20.06 =
$4.94

Items:
- 1 Chkn Strips = $2.87
- 1 BBQ Chkn Wings = $8.64

Step 1: Add prices to find subtotal
$2.87 + $8.64 = $11.51
$11.51 + $2.55 = $14.06
$14.06 + $7.05 =
$21.11 → Subtotal
Step 2: Find tax (7% of subtotal)
7% of $21.11 = 0.07 × 21.11 =
$1.4777 → Round to nearest cent =
$1.48
Step 3: Add subtotal and tax for total
$21.11 + $1.48 =
$22.59 → Total
Step 4: Subtract total from amount paid to find change
Amount Paid = $25.00
Change = $25.00 - $22.59 =
$2.41

7% of $12.46 = 0.07 × 12.46 =
