No, Dynatashia paid too much for soda.
No, Dynatashia paid too much for hamburger.
No, Dynatashia paid too much for buns.

Answer 1

No — Dynatashia paid too much for buns.

Checks:
- Hamburger: 1.5 lb × $3.99/lb = $5.985 → $5.99 on the receipt (correct).
- Buns: advertised $1.29, receipt shows $1.69 → overcharged $0.40.
- Soda: 3 for $2 → total $2.00. Receipt shows $1.34 + $0.67 = $2.01 (1 cent over by rounding), but the clear mistake is the buns.
