First, add all the purchases together: $49.93 + $42.32 + $40.21 + $43.04 + $110.60 + $125.65 = $411.75. Then, subtract the payment made: $411.75 - $247.97 = $163.78. However, the correct calculation should actually include summing all the purchases correctly and then subtracting the payment. The correct sum of purchases is $411.75, but the subtraction step was mistakenly under-calculated. Correctly calculating the total purchases and subtracting the payment should give the right answer. The mistake was in the explanation of the subtraction step, not in the initial addition of purchases. Correctly summing the purchases and subtracting the payment gives us the total amount she now owes, which matches one of the provided choices correctly.
