20% off coupon:

$16.00 × 20% = $3.20 or $16.00 of 20% = $3.20

$16.00 - $3.20

= $12.80

Hence, He spend $12.80

Answer:$12.80

Explanation:

originally the cost of the items are:

$5.00+$4.00+$7.00

=$16.00

with the coupon:

10% of $16.00

=$1.6

therefore

$1.6 ×2

=$3.20 is 20% of $16.00

$16.00 - $3.20

= $12.80
