The net change to her banking account balance is $83.22.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi to answer this question we have to analyze the information given:

She spent $36.50 plus 8% tax.  ( to calculate the tax amount we have to multiply the cost by the percentage in decimal form)

36.50 x (8/100) =$2.92 (value of tax)

Adding to the original cost

36.50+2.92 = $39.42

Then, she spent $25 to refuel her car at the gas station.

39.42 +25 = $64.42

She bought groceries worth $23.50. At the grocery checkout, she handed over a coupon for a 20% discount on her purchase

23.50 x (20/100) = 4.7 (amount of discount)

Subtracting to the purchase

23.50 -4.7= $18.8

Finally, adding to the total cost.

64.42 +18.8 = $83.22

step-by-step explanation:

well if you round, things become much more simple. round 5.95 to 6, 4.25 to 4, and 1.05 to 1. now, add 6+4+1 and that would equal 11. so the items together would equal to about $11.
