    Answer: Her total before tax is $57.56.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Hi, to answer this question we have to analyze the information given:

    Set of knives: $62.50 Pot holders (3) : $4.75 each

    First we have to sum the prices:

    $62.50 + ($4.75 x3) = $76.75 (total without discount)

    To calculate the discount we have to multiply the total by 0.25 (25/100 = 0.25 decimal form).

    Mathematically speaking:

    $76.75 x 0.25 = $19.18

    And finally we subtract the value calculated to the total without discount:

    $76.75 - $19.18 = $ 57.56

    Her total before tax is $57.56.

    Feel free to ask for more if needed or if you did not understand something.
