She should get back 9.76

Explanation:

If Liz pays 15.24 and she gives 25, then to find out how much she gets back, you would subtract the two amounts to see whats left.

NOTE: Subtract what she gave with what she owes

You would do,

25 - 15.24 = 9.76

Liz should get back $4.76 in change.

Explanation:

The amount of change that Liz will get back is the difference between the amount she gave and the cost of the CD.

Since she gave a $20 bill, and the CD costs $15.24, the difference is:

20.00
-15.24


4.76

Hence the amount of change Liz should get back is $4.76.
