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
