Answer
A
Yes, Dynatashia's receipt is correct.
B
No, Dynatashia paid too much for soda.
C
No, Dynatashia paid too much for hamburger.
D
No, Dynatashia paid too much for buns.
Explanation
The hamburger costs 1.5 × $3.99 = $5.985, which rounds to the receipt’s $5.99. The three sodas are listed at about $2.00 total, matching the 3-for-$2 deal aside from a one-cent rounding difference. The buns were advertised for $1.29 but the receipt charges $1.69, so Dynatashia paid too much for buns.
