Question

Jalissa's mom purchased coffee from the local coffee shop. The first cup of coffee was $4.15. Each refill is $1.25. She also decided to get a bagel for $3.50. If Jalissa's mom had 2 refills and a $0.50 discount as part of the rewards program, how much did she spend at the coffee shop?

Answer 1

Answer: Jalissa's mom spent $9.65 at the coffee shop.

Explanation: The total cost of the coffee can be calculated as follows:

First cup of coffee = $4.15

Two refills = 2 x $1.25 = $2.50

Total coffee cost = $4.15 + $2.50 = $6.65

Adding the cost of the bagel gives : Total cost = $6.65 + $3.50 = $10.15

Finally, subtracting the $0.50 discount gives: Total cost with discount = $10.15 - $0.50 = $9.65

Therefore, Jalissa's mom spent $9.65 at the coffee shop.
