Answer :

Hey! So, you know she bought two clipboards. You're going to want to add 2.23 and 2.23 together, which is 4.46. Sheila only bought one notebook, so you simply add 4.46 and 0.58 together, which is 5.05. But, wait! She paid with a 10 dollar bill. Now, we have to take 5.05 out of 10.00, which is 4.95. Now, our answer is going to be $4.95 in change. I hope I helped! :)

If the total amount paid is $10 and the total cost is $7.27.

The change sheila got is $2.73.

What is an expression?

An expression in math is a sentence with a minimum of two numbers or variables and at least one math operation.

We have,

Cost of clipboard:

C = $2.23

Cost of the notebook:

$0.58 more than the cost of the clipboard

This means we need to add $0.58 with $2.23

N = 0.58 + $2.23

N = $2.81

The cost of two clipboards and one notebook:

= 2 x C + N

= 2 x 2.23 + $2.81

= 4.46 + 2.81

= $7.27

The amount of change received after giving $10:

= 10 - 7.27

= $2.73

Thus, the change sheila got is $2.73.
