Question 1 • FL-2102373-Personal Finance and Money Management Honors

Twila decides to purchase several party trays for her holiday party. She sees that a local store has relish trays for $18.95, cheese and cracker trays for $23.99, and cookie trays for $25.49. The store also has a coupon in its flyer for $5 off any purchase of $50 or more on party trays. Twila orders 1 relish, 1 cheese and cracker, and 2 cookie trays.
