Answer:

Cashier scanned the bread twice.

Step-by-step explanation:

= 2.49 + 2.19 + 1.47 + 0.87 = 7.02

= 7.02 + 0.75 = 7.77

= 7.77 + 0.04 = 7.81

With 2 dollars and 19 cents leftover, even if the pennies were changed to dimes, youd still have only get up to 8.17 which still leaves 1 dollar and 83 cents leftover.

With that eliminated what could have the cashier miss-scanned? The paper towels are incorrect because 1.47 + 7.81 doesnt make 10 dollars

The dishwashing liquid isn't right either, because 0.87 + 7.81 doesn't make 10 dollars aswell.

The milk is also incorrect because 2.49 + 7.81 doesnt make EXACTLY 10 dollars. The bread is to correct answer bevause 2.19 + 7.81 equals exactly 10 dollars.

Hope this helps :)
