1. **Brian's subtotal with coupon:**
- Problem: Brian has a 50% off coupon for one entrée. He buys a steak for $23.99, grilled chicken for $16.49, and two beverages for $1.79 each. The coupon is applied to the steak. Find the subtotal.
- Formula: Discounted price = Original price \times (1 - Discount rate)
- Step 1: Calculate the discount on the steak:
$$23.99 \times 0.50 = 11.995$$
- Step 2: Calculate the discounted steak price:
$$23.99 - 11.995 = 11.995$$
- Step 3: Calculate the total cost of beverages:
$$1.79 \times 2 = 3.58$$
- Step 4: Add the discounted steak, grilled chicken, and beverages:
$$11.995 + 16.49 + 3.58 = 32.065$$
- Step 5: Round to two decimal places:
$$32.07$$
2. **Regina's shopping with coupon:**
- Problem: Regina has 100 to spend. She buys a 19 hat, 65 dress, and two CDs at 14 each. She has a 15% off coupon on the entire purchase. Does she have enough money?
- Step 1: Calculate total before discount:
$$19 + 65 + (14 \times 2) = 19 + 65 + 28 = 112$$
- Step 2: Calculate discount amount:
$$112 \times 0.15 = 16.8$$
- Step 3: Calculate total after discount:
$$112 - 16.8 = 95.2$$
- Step 4: Compare total after discount to budget:
$$95.2 \leq 100$$ so Regina has enough money.
**Final answers:**
- Brian's subtotal: $32.07
- Regina has enough money; total cost after discount is $95.20
