Answer:
The total charge to her account balance is $83.22
Step-by-step explanation:
We are told that she initially spends $36.50 at the clothing store plus 8% tax.
8% of $36.50 is:
8 / 100 * 36.50 = $2.92
Her total spending at the clothes store is therefore
$36.50 + $2.92 = $39.42
She then spend $25 to refuel her car.
She then bought groceries worth $23.50 and handed over a coupon for a 20% discount on her purchase.
20% discount means 20% of her cost was deducted from what she was supposed to pay and she only paid 80% of the amount she was supposed to pay.
80% of $23.50 is:
80 / 100 * 23.50 = $18.80
Therefore, her total cost (change in her account balance) is:
$39.42 + $25 + $18.80 = $83.22
The total charge to her account balance is $83.22.
