A customer is buying a $100 drill and two $15 drill bit sets. The customer uses a gift card worth $50 to pay for a portion of their bill. How much cash will the customer pay (before taxes)?

(100 + 15 + 15) - 50 = ?

130 - 50 =80

To calculate how much cash the customer will pay before taxes, we need to add up the prices of the items they are purchasing and subtract the value of the gift card.

The cost of the drill is $100.

The cost of two drill bit sets is $15 each, so the total cost for the sets is 2 * $15 = $30.

Adding up the prices of the drill and the drill bit sets gives us $100 + $30 = $130.

Since the customer uses a gift card worth $50, we subtract this amount from the total cost: $130 - $50 = $80.

Therefore, the customer will pay $80 in cash (before taxes).
