Leila went to the supermarket to buy food for the Christmas party. She bought apples for 5, sugar for 3 and carrots for 17. She paid with a 50 bill. How much money does the saleswoman return to her? Give me reasons, before answering the question
To find out how much the saleswoman should give her back, we have to find out first how much she spent. She bought apples for 5, sugar for 3 and carrots for 17, so she spent 5 + 3 + 17 = 25. She pays 50 and the saleswoman must keep 25, so the seller must give her back 50 - 25 = 25. So the final answer is 25.
