Answer 1

I'll post what I'm thinking it is

Answer 2

I would first try and convert the total, 711, into money

Answer 3

That would equal $1955.25

I did 711*2.75

Answer 4

Then I'ma do 22*2.75

That equals 60.50

Answer 5

Then 56*2.75

Answer 6

That equals 154 I think

Answer 7

Then 75*2.75 equal uhhh 206.25 I think

Answer 8

Tthen the three free melons woulda costed 8.25

Answer 9

So now I converted it all to money

Answer 10

Now I add up the sales with the sales right? And stolen good with stolen good??

Answer 11

60.50+206.25 those are the sales sold. So that would equal out to 266.75 no?

Answer 12

154+8.25 whichll equal 162.25???

Answer 13
