Respuesta :

Answer: $36.8625

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we are informed that Brenda went to Fiesta Mart and bought 1 ¼ pounds of deli meat at $7 a pound and 9 ¾ pounds of rice at $0.45 per pound. The total amount that we spent will be:

= ($7 × 1.25) + ($0.45 × 9.75)

= $8.75 + $4.3875

= $13.1375

If Brenda paid for her purchase with a $50 bill, the change that she will receive will be:

= $50 - $13.1375

= $36.8625
