Required [Missing from the question]

What is his balance after purchasing the items

First, calculate total cost of items

`Total =Video\ Game + Chocolate\ Bar + Remote\ Car`

`Total = \$17.99 + \$0.79 + \$8.99`

`Total = \$27.77`

The balance is then calculated as:

`Balance = Allowance - Total`

`Balance = \$30 - \$27.77`

`Balance = \$2.23`
