Question 3 • FL-2102371-Personal Finance and Money Management

Cathy purchased six apples at $0.65 cents each including tax. They were charged $4.26 total for the apples and did not think twice about it. The next day, they checked their bank statement and it seemed incorrect. How much did they overpay for the apples?

Answer
A
$1.61
B
$0.90
C
$0.36
D
$0.06

Explanation

At $0.65 per apple, six apples should cost 6 × $0.65 = $3.90. Subtracting this from the $4.26 charge gives $4.26 − $3.90 = $0.36, so Cathy overpaid $0.36.
