23.05

37.94

10.06

24.95​

Answer 1

Jaylen have left 23.05 $

Explanation:

5 pounds of apples = 12.99 $

4 cupcakes = 2.99 $/apple

Total money = 48 $

All the cupcakes costs = 4*2.99 = 11.96 $

Then she bought in total:

48 -(12.99 + 11.96)

48 - 24.95 = 23.05

Answer 2

$24.95

Explanation:

2.99 times 4 is 11.96, and you would add that with 12.99 to get 24.95.
