First we need to select the 2 items which add upto less than 20.
Consider 12.99 + 4.99 = $17.98
adding 7% tax, we get,
17.98 * 1.07 = $19.2386
Thus Jake could buy either a cologne and a candle or earings and a candle with $20 not going over.
9) candle and plant cost = 4.99 + 7.99
= $12.98
adding 7% tax, we get,

12.98 * 1.07 = $13.8886
