Answer 1

Answer:

$27.83

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

Ann spent $28.83.

Why?

We can find the answer by just multiplying the prices of cookies and doughnuts by their amounts, and adding the total prices together. 0.55 x 5 = $2.75, 0.85 x 12 = $10.20. 2.75 + 10.20 + 15.88 = 28.83. Therefore, Ann spent $28.83.
