Answer:

Charlie can buy 1 or 2 pounds of macaroni

Step-by-step explanation

If we add up the cost of the turkey sandwich and the soda, we get $6.00. Charlie has $10.00 to spend, so when he buys the sandwich and soda, he will have $4.00 left to spend. If the macaroni is $2.00 per pound, then Charlie can buy 1 or 2 pounds of macaroni.

hope this helped
