Malcolm spent 85.43on wall paper, 21 on paint, and 7.84 on brushes and other supplies to red econade a bathroom. he gave the clerk 120.00 how much change should he receive?

Since he spent 85.43, 21, and 7.84, you would have to add those together because this is how much he has spent all together and you would get, 114.27. and since you gave the clerk 120 you would subtract 120 from 114.27 because that's how much you spent with your 120 dollars and you would get 5.73

120-114.27=5.73 Add the numbers, then subtract 120 from them.
