Answer:

Option (1) is correct

The amount she receives back from $40 is  $12.65

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Mary bought the art supplies.

4 paint brushes @ $1.29 each, 6 dowel rods @ $1.49 each, a jar of paste @ $1.25, and 2 canvases @ $6.00 each.

We have to find the change she get from $40.

We first find the total cost of the art supplies.

Since, she brought 4 paint brushes @ $1.29 each,

Thus, cost of 4 paint brush is  1.29 × 4 = $5.16

Also, 6 dowel rods @ $1.49 each,

Thus, cost of 6 dowel rods is  1.49 × 6 = $8.94

Thus, cost of 1 jar of paste  is $1.25

and 2 canvases @ $6.00 each

Thus, cost of 2 canvases  is $12.00

Thus, total cost of art supplies = 5.16 + 8.94 + 1.25 + 12 =$27.35

Thus, amount she receives back from $40 is $40 - $12.35 = $12.65

Answer:

Option A. $12.65

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question we will add all expenditures done on every individual supply purchased then we will subtract the cumulative amount from total money given = $40

Mary bought 4 brushes @ $1.29

Total cost = 4×1.29 = $5.16

Cost of 6 dowels rods @ $1.49

Total cost = 6×1.49 = $8.94

Cost of a jar of paste @ $1.25

Total cost = $1.25

Cost of 2 canvas @ $6.00

Total cost = 2×6 = $12

Now cumulative cost = 5.16 + 8.94 + 1.25 + 12 = $27.35

She gave $40 so the change she got = 40 - 27.35 = $12.65

Option A. $ 12.65 is the answer.
