Haylie Rubio · Answer 1

A. No, she needs $2.83 more.

Explanation:

24.89+18.95+9.99=53.83

Total amount of money Rachel has: $51 (20+20+5+5+1)

$51-$53.83=-$2.83 - Rachel needs $2.83 to be able to afford the purchases.

Steven Barr · Answer 2

2 (20) = 40

2 (5) = 10

1 (1) = 1

total of $51

$24.89+$18.95+$9.99 = $53.83

$53.83-$51.00=$2.83
