Answer 1

I found the table by an online search (it is below)

Sally has $7 to spend in candy.

The price of a chocolate bar is $1.50

The price of a lollipop is $0.75

The price of gumballs is $0.25

In the table, we have the following combinations.

a) 3 chocolate bars, 3 lollipops and 4 gumballs, the price is:

3*$1.50 + 3*$0.75 + 4*$0.25 = $7.75 (she can not buy this)

b) 3 chocolate bars and 4 gumballs, the price is:

3*$1.50 + 4*$0.25 = $5.50 (she can buy this)

c) 1 chocolate bar, 5 lollipops and 2 gumballs, the price is:

1*$1.50 + 5*$0.75 + 2*$0.25 = $5.75 (she can buy this)

d) 2 chocolate bars, 2 lollipops and 8 gumballs, the price is:

2*$1.50 + 2*$0.75 + 8*$0.25 = $6.50 (she can buy this)
