$8.51

$17.23

$22.77

Answer 1

so to know full price of granola bars and rice packs; you would multiply 1.09 × 4 for the rice which you get 4.36 then for granola bars you do 4.29 × 3 and you get 12.87 then you add 12.87 + 4.36 = 17.23 then you subtract this from the $$ Mr.Jones has which is 40 so its 40-17.23 and you get 22.77
