모두 means “all” or “both” and emphasizes inclusion of the entire list (cash and card). You can also say 둘 다 (“both of the two”) for two items:
• 계산할 때 현금과 카드를 둘 다 사용할 수 있어요.
모두 sounds slightly more formal/neutral and works for any number of items, while 둘 다 is casual and limited to two.
Breakdown:
• 사용하다 = “to use”
• -ㄹ 수 있다 = ability construction, “can do” (attach ㄹ to the verb stem, then 수 있다)
• -어요 = polite informal ending
So 사용할 수 있어요 literally means “(you) are able to use” or simply “can use.”
Less formal (casual):
• 계산할 때 현금과 카드를 모두 사용할 수 있어.
