Answer:

$0.10

Step-by-step explanation:

We can divide the total amount ($12) by price of each avocado ($0.85) to get the number of avocados possible. That is:

[tex]\frac{12}{0.85}=14.11[/tex]

So, the fractional amount (decimal) is not possible, so Raul can get 14 avocados.

How much does 14 avocados cost?

14 * 0.85 = $11.90

The rest, he gets as change and can't buy another full avocado. The change is:

$12 - $11.90 = $0.10
