The employees from maintenance go for coffee together every day at 9 AM. On Monday, Hector paid $5.45 for three cartons of milk, four cups of coffee, and seven doughnuts. On Tuesday, Guillermo paid $5.30 for four milks, two coffees, and eight doughnuts. On Wednesday, Anna paid $5.15 for two milks, five coffees, and six doughnuts. On Thursday, Alphonse had to pay for five milks, two coffees, and nine doughnuts. How much change did he get back from his $10 bill?

A sugestion: calculate m, c, d from:
3m + 4c + 7d = 5.45; 4m + 2c + 8d = 5.30; 2m + 5c + 6d = 5.15;
Then, calculate 10 - (4m + 2c + 9d);

To find Alphonse's change from a $10 bill, we first sum up the costs from Monday to Wednesday totaling 16.90. W e t h e n c a l c u l a t e T h u rs d a y ′ se x p e n ses a s X and find change using the formula 10 − X. Thus, without the Thursday total, we can't provide the final change amount.
