Please tell me how to do it so I can do it for the next one. Thank you

Answer 1

the total cost is $298.20 and the left over is$26.8

Answer 2

Yes they will have enough

The total cost of the items was $298.20

We find this by taking the cost of 1 thing like the curtains, then we see how many were brought, which was 3. So we do the cost which is $24.50 and multiply that by 3 to get $73.50. And we keep doing this with the other items and add them up.
