[tex]Chocolate\ Bar = \$0.79[/tex]

[tex]Remote\ Car = \$8.99[/tex]

Required [Missing from the question]

What is his balance after purchasing the items

First, calculate total cost of items

[tex]Total =Video\ Game + Chocolate\ Bar + Remote\ Car[/tex]

[tex]Total = \$17.99 + \$0.79 + \$8.99[/tex]

[tex]Total = \$27.77[/tex]
