Ted pays $47.98 before tax

Step-by-step explanation:

What was the cost of the purchases before the coupon

pole + bait + shorts

35.99 + 12.99+14.99

63.97

If we take 25% off, we still have to pay (100% - 25%) or 75%

take the purchases times 75%

63.97 *.75

47.9775

round to the nearest cent

47.98
