Problem 10 - Entrance Test

A shirt costs 15 dollars. You buy 's' shirts and pay with a 50 dollar bill. Which expression represents the change you receive?

Correct: B

First, find the total cost of 's' shirts. If one shirt costs 15 dollars, 's' shirts will cost 15 * s, or 15s dollars. To find the change received, you subtract the total cost of the shirts from the amount you paid. Amount paid: 50 dollars Total cost of shirts: 15s dollars Change = Amount paid - Total cost = 50 - 15s So, the expression for the change you receive is 50 - 15s.
