amy gave the cashier $60 to pay for 3 giant dog pillows. the cashier gave her $6.15 in change. each dog pillow cost the same amount. what is the cost in dollars and cents for each dog pillow? $

Answer

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate total cost of 3 dog pillows

Total amount paid is $60 and change received is $6.15. So total cost of 3 pillows is (60 - 6.15). $$60 - 6.15=53.85$$

Step2: Find cost of one dog pillow

Since 3 pillows cost $53.85 and each has same cost. Cost of one pillow is (53.85\div3). $$53.85\div3 = 17.95$$

Answer:

17.95
