Question

You go into a cafe and you see on the menu that coffee costs R20.50, a muffin costs R10.29 and a sweet costs 59 cents. You order a coffee and a muffin. Your friend orders a muffin and 2 sweets. What's the correct way to work out the bill on a calculator?

Answer 1

Answer:

R 42.26

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the bill correctly we must add the orders separately and in the sweet cost when adding, we should write it as 0.59 not 59.

my order            my friend's order

 20.50                   10.29

+ 10.29                +   0.59

                                 0.59

R 30.79                              

                             R  11.47

R 30.79 + R 11.47 = R 42.26
