Question

Mrs. Jameson had coupons for the following amounts off of her food bill: $0.49, $0.38. $0.33, $0.71, $1.04, $0.55, $0.25, $0.83, $0.78, and $0.61. Her food bill was $39.95before the grocery clerk applied the coupons. How much was her food bill with the coupons?

Answer 1

hello

the first step in solving this question is to add the sum of the coupons she presented to the grocery clerk

$\text{0}.49+0.38+0.33+0.71+1.04+0.55+0.25+0.83+0.78+0.61=5.97$

the sum discount on her coupons was $5.97

she bought food worth $39.95

let's subtract the discount from the coupon from the worth of the food

$39.95-5.97=33.98$

her food bill with coupons would cost her $33.98

the answer to this question is option A
