Step-by-step explanation:

The initial bill was $32.57. If he leaves a tip of 18% on the amount before the coupon or tax is tax is applied, then the amount of tip that he left is

18/100 * 32.57 = $5.8626

If he uses a 10% off coupon on the cost of the meal, then the amount taken off the cost of the meal is

10/100 * 32.57 = $3.257

The cost of the meal would be

32.57 - 3.257 = $29.313

If he pays an 8% tax on the cost of the meal, then the amount of tax paid is

8/100 * 29.313 = 2.34504

Therefore, the total amount that he would spend is

29.313 + 2.34504 + 5.8626 = $37.52064
