Question

The Flynn family eats at a restaurant that is having a 5% discount promotion. Their meal costs $62.62, and they leave an 18% tip. If the tip applies to the cost of the meal before the discount, what is the total cost of the meal?

Answer 1

5% of $62.62= 3.13$
18% of $62.62= 11.28$
so add 11.28 to 62.62- 3.13 and they would pay a total of $48.29
