ron buys 3 shits at $19.90 each, and a pair of jeans for $25.50. The shop has a sale on, and he receives a $8.02 discount. How much does he spend in total?

To find out how much Ron spends in total, let's break down the calculation:

1. **Cost of 3 shirts**:  
   Each shirt costs $19.90.  
   Total cost for 3 shirts = $ 3 \times 19.90 = 59.70 $ dollars.

2. **Cost of the jeans**:  
   The jeans cost $25.50.

3. **Total cost before discount**:  
   Total cost = Cost of 3 shirts + Cost of jeans  
   Total cost = $ 59.70 + 25.50 = 85.20 $ dollars.

4. **Applying the discount**:  
   The discount is $8.02.  
   Total cost after discount = $ 85.20 - 8.02 = 77.18 $ dollars.

So, Ron spends **$77.18** in total.
