Answer 1

The discounted amount is $ 20.3475

Total for the bill with the discount and tip included is $ 142.4325

Solution:

Given that,

Sabella & her family went to Red Lobster

Their bill was $135.65

They wanted to leave a 20% tip on the original bill amount

Thus the tip paid is given as:

Tip amount = 20 % of 135.65

$Tip\ amount = 20 \% \times 135.65\\\\Tip\ amount = \frac{20}{100} \times 135.65\\\\Tip\ amount = 0.2 \times 135.65\\\\Tip\ amount = 27.13$

Thus the tip amount to be given is $ 27.13

They had a 15% off coupon on meals more than $75

Thus the discounted amount is given as:

$Discounted amount = 15 \% of\ 135.65\\\\Discounted\ amount = 15 \% \times 135.65\\\\Discounted\ amount = \frac{15}{100} \times 135.65\\\\Discounted\ amount = 0.15 \times 135.65\\\\Discounted\ amount = 20.3475$

Thus the discounted amount is $ 20.3475

What would be their total for the bill with the discount and tip included

Total bill = (original bill - discounted amount) + tip amount

Total bill = (135.65 - 20.3475) + 27.13

Total bill = 142.4325

Thus total for the bill with the discount and tip included is $ 142.4325
