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)?
(2 * 15) + 100 - 50 = ?
Total purchase is: $100.00 plus $15.00, plus $15.00 or $130.00. $130.00 minus the $50.00 (gift card) leaves the customer with a balance of $80.00 to pay before taxes.

To find out how much cash the customer will pay before taxes, we need to calculate the total cost of the items before deducting the gift card amount.
First, let's calculate the total cost of the drill bit sets. Since the customer is buying two $15 drill bit sets, the total cost for those would be $15 * 2 = $30.
Next, we can find the subtotal by adding the cost of the drill ($100) and the cost of the drill bit sets ($30). The subtotal would be $100 + $30 = $130.
Now, we can calculate the cash payment by subtracting the value of the gift card ($50) from the subtotal ($130). The cash payment would be $130 - $50 = $80.
Therefore, the customer will pay $80 in cash (before taxes).
