A $6.95
B $10.45
C $9.65
D $12.65

Answer 1

B $10.45

Explanation:

Fist you find how much the 2 boxes of cracker cost

$3.50 * 2 = $7

Then subtract the amount of 2 crackers by the $0.80 coupon

$7 - $0.80 = $6.20

Then add that amount to the cost of a jar of peanut butter

$6.20 + $4.85 = $11.05

Then add that about for with the amount of a package of juice boxes

$11.05 + $2.40 = $13.45

Then subtract the total amount to the $3.00 coupon

$13.45 - $3.00 = $10.45

B $10.45 is your answer
