Question

The cost of groceries for the Nguyen family was $210.00 the family used a coupon for 25% off the cost

Answer 1

To calculate the total savings from the coupon and the final cost of groceries for the Nguyen family after applying the 25% off, follow these steps:

1. **Calculate the discount amount**:
\[
\text{Discount} = \text{Original Cost} \times \text{Discount Rate}
\]
\[
\text{Discount} = 210.00 \times 0.25 = 52.50
\]

2. **Subtract the discount from the original cost** to find the final cost:
\[
\text{Final Cost} = \text{Original Cost} - \text{Discount}
\]
\[
\text{Final Cost} = 210.00 - 52.50 = 157.50
\]

So the Nguyen family saved $52.50 with the coupon, and the final cost of their groceries is **$157.50**.
