So, the discount on the coffee-set would be 30 pounds * 10% = 3 pounds. Therefore, Sally paid 30 pounds - 3 pounds = 27 pounds for the coffee-set.
Then, Sally bought a skirt and a matching blouse for herself at the price of 43 pounds.
Next, Sally bought a pair of shoes which cost her 25 pounds.
On another sale, Sally saw a nice watch that was reduced from 50 pounds to 40 pounds. She decided to buy it for her father.
Then, she got a leather bag for 20% less than the usual price of 80 pounds.
So, the discount on the leather bag would be 80 pounds * 20% = 16 pounds. Therefore, Sally paid 80 pounds - 16 pounds = 64 pounds for the bag.
A bit later, Sally bought a dozen CDs at 5 pounds each for her brother, Dan.
Finally, she finished her shopping with 3 notepads that she required for college. Each pad cost 3 pounds.
Sally also had a light meal at the food court, which cost her 5 pounds.
After the long day in the shopping center, Sally went home in a taxi and gave the driver 10 pounds, including the trip.
To calculate how much money Sally had left after she had been to the shops, we need to subtract her total expenses from the initial amount she had (300 pounds).
Sally's expenses are as follows:
Coffee-set: 27 pounds
Skirt and blouse: 43 pounds
Shoes: 25 pounds
Watch: 40 pounds
Leather bag: 64 pounds
Dozen CDs: 5 pounds each * 12 = 60 pounds
Notepads: 3 pounds each * 3 = 9 pounds
Food court meal: 5 pounds
Taxi ride: 10 pounds
Total expenses = 27 pounds + 43 pounds + 25 pounds + 40 pounds + 64 pounds + 60 pounds + 9 pounds + 5 pounds + 10 pounds = 283 pounds.
To calculate how much money Sally has left, we subtract her expenses from the initial amount:
300 pounds - 283 pounds = 17 pounds.
Therefore, Sally has 17 pounds left after she has been to the shops.
