Answer:

C. Paid $2.60 too much

Step-by-step explanation:

Gas 12 x 2.89 = 34.68

granola 2 x 1.59 = 3.18 x 1.075 = 3.4185

apple .89 x 1.075 = 0.95675

vitamin water 2 x 1.39 = 2.78 x 1.075 = 2.9885

  34.68
  3.4185
  0.95675
+ 2.9885
---------------------
  $42.04

  $44.64
- $42.04
---------------------
  $2.60
