Answer 1

Money spent more on pies than cupcakes = $17.23

Explanation:

1 cupcake = $ 1.59

8 cupcakes = 8 * $ 1.59

8 cupcakes = $12.72

1 pie = $5.99

5 pies = 5 * $5.99

5 pies = $29.95

Money spent more on pies than cupcakes = Pies - Cupcakes

Money spent more on pies than cupcakes = $29.95 - $12.72

Money spent more on pies than cupcakes = $17.23

`\rule[225]{225}{2}`

Answer 2

17.23

Explanation:

Find the cost of the cupcakes

8* 1.59= 12.72

Find the cost of the pies

5*5.99 =29.95

Subtract the cost of the cupcakes from the pies

29.95-12.72=17.23
