    Answer: Darla would have to pay $17.69 before tax

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Total amount in Darla's wallet = $15

    She intends buying 2 gallons of fruit, 3 bags of chips and a box of cupcakes.

    For the gallon of fruit

    The first gallon of fruit cost $3.50

    The second gallon of fruit has a discount of 50%. We have

    (50/100) * 3.50

    = $1.75

    Therefore, the total amount for the two gallons of fruit = $3.50 + $1.75

    = $5.25

    Bag of chips

    2 bags of chips cost $5 while 1 bag of chips cost $2.65

    Since she intends to buy 3 bags of chips we have $5 + $2.65 = $7.65

    1 box of cupcakes = $4.79

    The total amount Darla is to pay for the groceries before tax equals

    $5.25 + $7.65 + $4.79

    = $17.69

    This is more than the amount Darla has in her wallet
