0 pogs and 0 action figures
B
8 pogs and 3 action figures

Verified step by step guidance1
Identify the total budget Lil Kiddo has, which is \$10.
Determine the price of each item: pogs cost \$0.50 each and action figures cost \$2 each.
Calculate the total cost of each consumption bundle by multiplying the quantity of each item by its price and summing the results.
For the bundle of 5 pogs and 4 action figures, calculate the cost: (5 pogs * \$0.50) + (4 action figures * \$2).
Compare the total cost of each bundle to Lil Kiddo's budget of \$10 to determine which bundle exceeds the budget and is therefore unaffordable.
