Question

part 2 - arithmetic reasoning instructions
a student bought a sandwich for 80 cents, milk for 20 cents, and pie for 30 cents. how much did the meal cost?
a $1.00
b $1.20
c $1.30
d $1.40
e $1.60

Explanation:

Step1: Sum the costs in cents

To find the total cost, we add the cost of the sandwich (80 cents), milk (20 cents), and pie (30 cents). So, \( 80 + 20 + 30 = 130 \) cents.

Step2: Convert cents to dollars

Since 100 cents = $1, we divide 130 cents by 100. \( \frac{130}{100} = 1.30 \) dollars.

Answer:

C. $1.30
