Step-by-step explanation:

She bought 1.4 pounds of cashews that costs $8.90 per pound. This means that the total amount that she paid for 1.4 pounds of cashew is

8.9 * 1.4 = $12.46

She also bought 0.7 pounds of walnuts that cost $8.10 per pound. This means that the total amount that she paid for 0.7 pounds of walnuts is

0.7 * 8.1 = $5.67

Since $12.46 is greater than $5.67, it means that she spent more on Cashews than walnuts. The amount that she spent more on cashews is

12.46 - 5.67 = $6.79
