Math Word Problem #1

Mrs. Fisher has the bad habit of stopping by Starbucks on her way to school. This morning she bought a grande, vanilla, nonfat latte for $3.43 and a slice of blueberry coffee cake for $1.65. What was the total amount I owed? How much change did I get back if I gave them $10.00? (Don't forget to use our PROBLEM SOLVING STEPS 1-4!!!)

This word problem is pretty tricky. The answer to this word problem is $4.92.I hope the other word problems will still be pretty tricky!

The answer of the math problem is $5.08 because you add the numbers $3.43+$165+$10.00 equles $5.08 that is the answer to the math problem.I found the problem by adding the numbers and solving the problem numbers by numbers that is how I found the problem.
