Answer:

She spent $69.98

Explanation:

49.99 + 19.99 = 69.98 because people place .99 at the end of the cost in order to try to confuse customers that they are getting a better price then they really are, this is true because since many people read left to right, they will see the smaller number first, and they see the bigger number last, makin them believe its a better price. when at the end of a number lies a .99 it only counts as .99 not 1.00, thus this information is what helped me find my answer.
