Answer :

Sure, let's break down the problem and find out how much Charlle spent on these three items.

First, we need to consider the individual prices of each item:
- A jar of spaghetti sauce costs \[tex]$2.49. - A package of spaghetti noodles costs \$[/tex]1.58.
- A gallon of milk costs \[tex]$3.17. To find the total amount spent, we need to add these three amounts together: 1. Start by adding the cost of the spaghetti sauce and the spaghetti noodles: \[ 2.49 + 1.58 = 4.07 \] 2. Next, add the cost of the gallon of milk to the previous sum: \[ 4.07 + 3.17 = 7.24 \] Therefore, the total amount spent by Charlle on these items is: \[ \boxed{7.24} \] Thus, the correct answer is: \[ \$[/tex]7.24
