1 answer

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.
