i dont understand the wording properly, can you explain me what the question is about ?

So, you have to find the price of the jumbo pretzel, so you can find the total cost first and just start subtracting, that simple. Ella had a certificate for $5 off the cost, and Margaret paid the rest which was $12.75...so add this and what do you get?

just imagine Ella didnt have a certificate so margaret should paid 5$ more 
now u should count it how much of that was for jumbo pretzel
