If Phara buy all items, she must cost:

$2.99 + $3.49 + $6.29 + $4.99 + $3.89 + $5.49 = $27.14

So she it took more: $27.14 - $17.36 = $9.78

But $9.78 is the sum money must cost of Puzzle and Wallet.

So she didn't bought Puzzle and Wallet

So the positive difference of their is:

$6.29 - $3.49 = $2.8
