Hello there, here are the correct answers to your question!

a) The estimated value of the bill would be $24.

b) Yes, the total on the register is reasonable. The estimate is $24, and after subtracting the estimated coupon amount of $2, you get $22, which is very close to $21.77

Here is the work I did to get your answers:

part a:

$2.95 $1.19 $4.61 $1.74 $3.04 $8.83 $1.16 − $0.75 − $1.00

Round to the nearest dollaer amount.

$3 $1 $5 $2 $3 $9 $1 - $1 - $1

Add the values of your purchases (excluding the coupons)

$3 + $1 + $5 + $2 + $3 + $9 + $1

$4 + $7 + $3 + $10

$4 + $20

$24

Part b:

Together, the coupon gives you $-2 off, so subtract $2 from $24

$24 - 2 = $22

So yes, the total is reasonable since $22 is very close to $21.77.

I hope this helps, and have a great day! Please don't hesitate to ask if you need more help with this specific question!
