Question

If it costs $3 for a large drink, $4 for a large order of fries, and $4 for a hot dog when you purchase the items individually at a concession stand, what percentage discount are you getting if the concession stand sells these items in a value meal priced at $9?

Answer 1

Answer:

There is a 18.18%  discount if a combo meal is purchased.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, according to the question:

The cost of 1 large drink = $3

The cost of 1 order of fries = $4

The cost of 1 hot dog = $4

Now, the combined cost of all items if purchased individually

=  Price of { 1 large drink +  1  fries+  1 hot dog} = { $3 + $4 + $4} = ($11)

Also, the price of all 3 food if a meal is purchased  = $9

So, the difference in the Price of meal and total food cost

= $11 - $ 9 = $2

⇒ There is $2 DISCOUNT of a meal is purchased then buying items individually.

$\textrm{Discount Percentage} = \frac{\textrm{Discount}}{\textrm{Total Cost}} \times 100 \\ = \frac{2}{11} \times 100 = 18.18$

Hence, there is a 18.18%discount if a combo meal is purchased.
