Question

The table shows the prices of some candy items at a store. Jake selected 1.6 pounds of Fruit Chews and 2.6 pounds of Jelly Beans. The sales tax for his purchase was $0.52.

Item Price Per Pound.
Fruit Chews. $4.70
Jelly Beans. $2.35
Chocolate. $3.50

If Jake had $25 to spend at the candy store, how much money did Jake have left after his purchase?

Answer 1

10.85

Explanation:

1.6 x 4.70 + 2.6 x 2.35 = 7.52 + 6.11 = 13.63 + .52 = 14.15

25 - 14.15 = 10.85

Jake has $10.85 dollars left
