Final answer:

Manual will spend $77.90 before tax, which includes the cost of two shirts and a pair of jeans on sale.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate how much Manual will spend before tax, we need to first determine the cost of the two shirts and the discounted price of the jeans. Since each shirt costs $18.95, the total cost of the shirts is $18.95 x 2 = $37.90. The jeans are 1/5 off, so Manual will pay 4/5 of the original price, which is 4/5 x $50 = $40. After finding the total cost of the shirts and jeans, we can simply add them together to get the total amount Manual will spend.



Calculations:

Total cost of shirts: $18.95 x 2 = $37.90

Discounted price of jeans: 4/5 x $50 = $40

Total amount Manual will spend before tax: $37.90 + $40 = $77.90

$77.90. Both shirts would be $37.90. If the jeans are originally $50, 1/5 of $50 is $10. 50 - 10 = $40. $37.90 + $40 = $77.90. Hope this helps.
