Explanation:

Step1: Calculate cost for first set (1 cupcake and 1 pretzel)

$1.06 + 0.97=2.03$ (in dollars)

Step2: Calculate cost for second set (3 cookies and 1 pie)

Cost of 3 cookies is $0.99$, cost of 1 pie is $7.25$. So $0.99 + 7.25 = 8.24$ (in dollars)

Step3: Calculate cost for third set (1 cupcake, 3 cookies and 1 pretzel)

Cost of 1 cupcake is $1.06$, cost of 3 cookies is $0.99$, cost of 1 pretzel is $0.97$. So $1.06+0.99 + 0.97=3.02$ (in dollars)

Step4: Calculate cost for fourth set (1 cake, 2 donuts and 1 pie)

Cost of 1 cake is $8.98$, cost of 2 donuts is $0.78$, cost of 1 pie is $7.25$. So $8.98+0.78 + 7.25 = 17.01$ (in dollars)

Step5: Calculate cost for fifth set (4 donuts and 1 pie)

4 donuts is 2 sets of 2 - donuts. Cost of 2 donuts is $0.78$, so cost of 4 donuts is $2\times0.78 = 1.56$, cost of 1 pie is $7.25$. So $1.56+7.25 = 8.81$ (in dollars)

Answer:

First set: $2.03$ dollars
Second set: $8.24$ dollars
Third set: $3.02$ dollars
Fourth set: $17.01$ dollars
Fifth set: $8.81$ dollars
