We are given
Price of a round pizza = $5.95
Meal tax = 3%
If Holly pays a $10
We want to find the change or balance of Holly
Solution
Price of pizza = $ 5.95
Meal tax
[tex]\frac{3}{100}\times5.95=0.1785[/tex]The total cost will be
Total cost = price + meal tax
[tex]\begin{gathered} cost=price+\text{tax} \\ cost=5.95+0.1785 \\ cost=6.1285 \end{gathered}[/tex]The total cost $ 6.1285
Since Holly paid $ 10
His balance will be
[tex]\begin{gathered} Balance=10-\text{cost} \\ Balance=10-6.1285 \\ Balance=3.8715 \\ Balance=3.87\text{ (to the nearest hundredth, or cent)} \end{gathered}[/tex]Therefore, Holly Balance will $ 3.87 ( to the nearest cent)
