Explanation:

Question 5

Step1: Identify the costs

Drink: $\$1.99$, Hamburger: $\$9.75$, Cake: $\$5.25$

Step2: Add the costs

Total = $1.99 + 9.75 + 5.25$
First, add $9.75 + 5.25 = 15$
Then, add $1.99 + 15 = 16.99$? Wait, no, wait the options have $16.99$? Wait the options: $20.00$, $18.00$, $16.99$, $19.99$. Wait let's recalculate: $1.99 + 9.75 = 11.74$; $11.74 + 5.25 = 16.99$. So the total is $\$16.99$.

1. First, the cashier adds the sale price for the item(s) to find the total cost for all items (calculate total cost).
2. Then, the customer pays for the item(s) with cash (customer pays).
3. Then, the cashier subtracts the total cost of the item(s) from the amount of cash that the customer gave (calculate change).
4. Finally, the cashier returns cash to the buyer that represents the difference between the cash received and the total cost (give change).

So the correct order is:

1. The cashier adds the sale price for the item(s) to find the total cost for all items.
2. The customer pays for the item(s) with cash.
3. The cashier subtracts the total cost of the item(s) from the amount of cash that the customer gave.
4. The cashier returns cash to the buyer that represents the difference between the cash received and the total cost.

To order them:

• Move "The cashier adds the sale price for the item(s) to find the total cost for all items" to the top (first step).
• Then "The customer pays for the item(s) with cash" (second step).
• Then "The cashier subtracts the total cost of the item(s) from the amount of cash that the customer gave" (third step).
• Then "The cashier returns cash to the buyer that represents the difference between the cash received and the total cost" (fourth step).

So the order from top to bottom (first to last) is:

1. The cashier adds the sale price for the item(s) to find the total cost for all items.
2. The customer pays for the item(s) with cash.
3. The cashier subtracts the total cost of the item(s) from the amount of cash that the customer gave.
4. The cashier returns cash to the buyer that represents the difference between the cash received and the total cost.
