Question: 1 / 400

A customer orders a $3.50 pizza and pays with $1 and 9 quarters. Did they pay the correct amount?

Yes, they paid exactly $3.50

No, they paid less than $3.50

To determine if the customer paid the correct amount for the pizza, we first need to calculate the total amount they paid.

The customer paid with one $1 bill, which is worth $1. Additionally, they paid with 9 quarters. Each quarter is worth $0.25, so we multiply the number of quarters by their value:

9 quarters × $0.25 = $2.25

Now, we add the value of the $1 bill to the total amount from the quarters:

$1.00 (from the bill) + $2.25 (from the quarters) = $3.25

Next, we compare this total amount of $3.25 to the price of the pizza, which is $3.50. Since $3.25 is less than $3.50, we conclude that the customer did not pay enough for the pizza. Therefore, the accurate determination in this situation is that they paid less than the required amount. This confirms that the answer indicating the payment was less than $3.50 is correct.
