Answer:

She has $1.54 left

Explanation:

We know she bought a $20 giftcard,
and she spent $8.79 on Chalk Markers, $2.69 on yarn, and $6.98
on beads.
------------------------------------------
Therefore you would do

• $20 - $8.79 = $11.21
• $11.21 - $2.69 = $8.52
• $8.52 - $6.98 = $1.54
------------------------------------------

So Ellie would have $1.54 left on her gift card.

Hope this helps! :))
