(b) Jennifer spends 30% of her earnings on a book.
So, price of the book =
Price of book = $14.40
(c) Jennifer also buys a magazine for = $5.40

Average speed =
Ishan's Speed uphill = 10mph
Time taken = 18 minutes = 18/60 = 3/10 hours
Now distance = rate × time
Distance traveled by Ishaan up hill = 10 × 3/10 = 3 miles
Now returning back home
Distance = 3 miles
Rate = 30 mph
So time taken = distance/ rate = 3/30= 1/10 hours = 1/10 ×60 = 6 minutes.
Now total distance traveled = 3 + 3 = 6 miles
Total time taken = 18 + 6 = 24 minutes = 24/60 = 2/5 hours
Average speed
=
= 15 mph
Ishaan's average speed for the entire trip from home to the gift store and back is 15mph
