Answer 1

the answer is 24.8,

24.80 *2=49.60+12.40=62

62-40%=24.8

Answer 2

Answer:

1. You take 24.8 and multiply it by .4 which equals 9.92. Then you do 24.8 - 9.92 which equals 14.88.  Mrs. Adler's meal is 14.88 dollars

2. Next you take 24.8 and divide it by 2. Which equals 12.4. Diane's meal is 12.4 dollars.

3. After all of that you add 14.88, 12.4, and 24.8 which equals 52.08. The total cost is $52.08
