b. Aiden's sister spent $54.40 on candles (0.32 x 170= 54.4)
c. Aiden's sister spent more on candles. She spent $32.20 more.

Answer:

a). $22.20

b). $54.40

c). $32.20

Step-by-step explanation:

a). To prepare for a wedding Aiden bought 60 candles for $0.37 each.

Total amount he paid for candles = 60 × 0.37 = $22.20

b). His sister paid $0.05 less for each candle so cost of one candle = $0.37 - $0.05 = $0.32

Total amount she paid for 170 candles = 170 × 0.32 = $54.40

c). As we can see that Aiden and his sister has spent $54.40 and $22.20 respectively.

Therefore, amount spent more by Aiden's sister = $54.40 - $22.20

                                                                                = $32.20
