So for the first problem; You will take the cost of the glue $2.39 and take away the cost of the tape. Which is $1.99 [tex]2.39 - 1.99[/tex] [tex] = 0.40[/tex]
So the answer to problem 1. will be $0.40 more.
For the second problem; We will add the cost of the markers together, then add the cost of the paper onto that. [tex]4.50 + \times 2 + 3.79[/tex] [tex]9 + 3.79[/tex] [tex] = 12.37[/tex] Leaving the second answer to be $12.39.
