Alex purchased 3 packs of baseball cards that cost $2.50 each. He also purchased 2 packs of card protectors that cost $3.00 each. If tax was included in the prices, how much change did Alex receive after paying with a $20 bill?
You have to add/multiply 2.50 by 3 to get the total cost of the cards. 2.50*3=7.5. then, you need to add/multiply 3.00 by 2 to get 6. 7.5+6= 13.5. 20-13.5=6.50.
