Candles= $5.95 each
Cans of candy = $2.50 each
Ornament = $7.95 each
Number of candles = 2
Number of cans of candy= 3
Number of ornaments=1
The total cost of the candles is equal to the price of each candle ($5.95) multiplied by the number of candles (2)
Total cost of candles = 5.95 x 2= $11.9
Same process for the cans of candy and ornaments:
Total cost of candy = 2.50 x 3 = $7.5
Total cost of ornament = 7.95 x 1 = $7.95
To determine how much money he will need, we simply add all the total costs:
Total cost of candles+ total cost of candy+ total cost of ornaments= 11.9+7.5+7.95 = $27.35
$25 won't be enough to pay for the purchases because it's less than $27.35
