Answer 1

Hello there! Mizuki here to help!

The correct answer will be:

Fred is going to spend $1380.41

Explanation:

The whole work I did:

500 x 0.3 = 150

617 x 0.59 = 364.03

379 x 0.98 = 371.42

116 x 4.25 = 493

2 x 0.98 = 1.96

150 + 364.03 + 371.42 + 493 + 1.96 = 1380.41

Answer 2

he spent 1,380.41 dollars
