Question 410739: An individual purchased a burger at Burger Queen for $1.58. The individual gives the cashier $2.00 and then notices that he has change, so he gives the cashier another quarter and 8 cents pulled from his pocket. The problem is that the cashier already entered $2.00 into the register and is not sure what to do with the change.
How much change should the customer get back? (Hint: Because the customer has given the cashier 2 amounts, the $2.00 and the quarter and 8 cents, you probably want to add these 3 amounts first, before subtracting the cost of the hamburger.)
The cashier notices that the customer is an employee of Burger Queen and remembers that all employees should receive a discount and only pay for 2/3 of the meal. How much will the customer pay if he only pays 2/3 of the $1.58 total? (Round your answer to the nearest cent.)

What is 2/3 of $1.58
Develop a model:
2/3 of $1.58 - $2.33
Perform Operations
2/3 of $1.58 = $1.58 3 2
$1.58 3= 0.526 2
Round to 0.53 2 = $1.06
$2.33 $1.06 =
The employee gets back $1.27
