Given:

• Jumbo burger = $1.95

,

• Cheeseburger = $0.69

,

• Medium fries - $0.99

,

• Small cola = $0.90

Amount spent = $5.79

Let's find what you bought.

To determine what you bought, let's sum up the given costs and find the possible combination that will give us $5.79

We have:

When you buy the following:

2 jumbo burgers = 2 x 1.95 = $3.90

1 Meduim fries = $0.99

1 small cola = 0.90

Now add them up:

2 jumbo burgers + 1 medium fries + 1 small cola

$3.90 + $0.99 + $0.90 = $5.79

Therefore, if you spent $5.79, that means you bought 2 jumbo burgers, 1 medium fries and 1 small cola.
