    Carol bought a pair of jeans for $12.95 and a belt for $3.79. The sales tax is $1.01. Carol gave the store clerk a $20.00 bill. How much change should she get back?

    Calculate total cost:
    Total cost = Jeans + Belt + Sales Tax
    Total cost = $12.95 + $3.79 + $1.01
    Total cost = $17.75

    Calculate Change
    Change = Carol's payment - Total cost
    Change = $20 - $17.75
    Change = $2.25
