Answer 1

The amount of money Jake had left after his purchase is $10.85

Explanation:

The amount of Fruit Chews Jake selected = 1.6 pounds

The amount of Jelly Beans Jake selected = 2.6 pounds

The sales tax = $0.52

The amount of money Jake had to spend = $25

The table of values are;

Price Per Pound
`{}`

Fruit Chews = $4.70

Jelly Beans = $2.35

Chocolate = $3.50

The amount of money Jake had to spend $25

The total amount of the candies Jake bought = 1.6 × $4.70 + 2.6 × $2.35 = $13.63

The total amount Jake spent = The total amount of the candies Jake bought + The sales tax

The total amount Jake spent = $13.63 + $0.52 = $14.15

The amount of money Jake had left after his purchase = The amount of money Jake had to spend - The total amount Jake spent

The amount of money Jake had left after his purchase = $25 - $14.15 = $10.85

The amount of money Jake had left after his purchase = $10.85.
