How much change remains from $10 after buying 4 pounds of cheese at $2.43 per pound?

• A. $0.72
• B. $1.28
• C. $0.28
• D. $0.00

Answer: (C)

To find the change, first calculate the total cost of the cheese. Multiply the price per pound by the number of pounds: 2.43 × 4 = 9.72. This means you spend $9.72. Subtract that from the $10 you started with: 10.00 − 9.72 = 0.28. So the remaining change is 28 cents, written as $0.28.
