The correct answer is $8.90.

Step-by-step explanation:

Corey has bought some groceries.

Amount Corey spent on 4 apples costing 35 cents each is 35 * 4 = 140 cents = $1.4

Amount Corey spent on 5 potatoes costing 15 cents each is 15 * 5 = 75 cents = $0.75

Amount Corey spent on 3 cake mixes costing $2.25 each is 2.25 * 3 = $6.75.

Total amount spent by Corey to buy groceries is $ (6.75 + 0.75 + 1.4) = $ 8.90.
