Answer:

$Balance = \$2.23$

Explanation:

Given

$Allowance = \$30$

$Video\ Game = \$17.99$

$Chocolate\ Bar = \$0.79$

$Remote\ Car = \$8.99$

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

$Balance = \$30 - \$27.77$

$Balance = \$2.23$
