Step-by-step explanation:

Hi to answer this question we have to analyze the information given:

She spent $36.50 plus 8% tax.  ( to calculate the tax amount we have to multiply the cost by the percentage in decimal form)

36.50 x (8/100) =$2.92 (value of tax)

Adding to the original cost

36.50+2.92 = $39.42

Then, she spent $25 to refuel her car at the gas station.

39.42 +25 = $64.42

She bought groceries worth $23.50. At the grocery checkout, she handed over a coupon for a 20% discount on her purchase

23.50 x (20/100) = 4.7 (amount of discount)

Subtracting to the purchase

23.50 -4.7= $18.8

Finally, adding to the total cost.

64.42 +18.8 = $83.22

Answer:

$85.082

Step-by-step explanation:

36.50 divided by 8 is 4.56 in tax so 36.50 plus 4.56 is 41.06 and 41.06 plus 25 is 66.06 plus 23.50 is 89.56 divided by 20 is 4.478 so you subtract that from 89.56 and you get 85.082.
