Final answer:

Thomas does not have enough money to buy the pumpkins and turkey.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine if Thomas has enough money to buy the pumpkins and turkey, we need to calculate the total cost of his purchases and compare it to the amount of money he has.

The cost of 3 pumpkins at $2.49 each is 3 * $2.49 = $7.47.

Applying the coupon for the turkey, the cost becomes half of $17.95, which is $17.95 / 2 = $8.975, rounded to $8.98.

The total cost of the pumpkins and turkey is $7.47 + $8.98 = $16.45.

Since Thomas has $15, which is less than $16.45, he does not have enough money to make the purchases.
