Data:

Groceries: $150

10% off

Flowers: $50

Sales tax on the flowers: 6.254%

To find the total amount:

1. Find the 10% of 150:

[tex]150\cdot\frac{10}{100}=15[/tex]

2. As the coupon is 10% off you substract the 10% of $150:

[tex]150-15=135[/tex]

For the groceries Cyrus pays $135

3. Find the 6.254% of 50:

[tex]50\cdot\frac{6.254}{100}=3.13[/tex]

4. As the 6.254% is sales tax you add it to the $50:

[tex]50+3.127=53.13[/tex]

For the flowers Cyrus pays $53.13

The total amount Cyrus spends is: $188.13[tex]135+53.127=188.13[/tex]
