Answer 1

we have that

the purchase is 
1/2 lb cheese----------> (1/2)*$2.99------> $1.495
2 lbs sliced ham------> 2*$4.29----------> $8.58
2 loaves of bread-----> 2*$2.49---------> $4.98
3 bags of potato chips-----> 1*$1.99+$3.00-----> $4.99
2 containers of salsa------ 2*$3.39-------> $6.78

item cost=[1.495+8.58+4.98+4.99+6.78]=$26.825
so
$26.825 is > $25
and
$26.825 is < $30
then 
You have a coupon for $3.00 off
[new item cost]=$26.825-$3.00-------> $23.825

total sales tax=(4/100)*23.825-------> $0.953

[the total cost]=$23.825+$0.953-------> $24.778

the answer is
The total cost of the purchases is $24.778
