    Alexa pays $13.50

    Step-by-step explanation:

    1. find 40% of each item cost

    ($5 = 100%) / 5 = ($1 = 20%) * 2 = $2 = 40% ($15 = 100%) / 5 = ($3 = 20%) * 2 = $6 = 40% ($2.50 = 100%) / 5 = ($0.50 = 20%) * 2 = $1 = 40%

    2. find cost of each item

    $5 - $2 = $3 $15 - $6 = $9 $2.50 - $1 = $1.50

    3. find total cost

    $3 + $9 + $1.50 = $13.50
