Answer:
$82.57
Step-by-step explanation:
The tip they leave is ...
$78.64 × 0.20 = $15.73
The amount of the discount is ...
$78.64 × 0.15 = $11.80
Then the total cost of the meal and tip is ...
meal price - discount + tip
$78.64 -11.80 +15.73 = $82.57
He had 40 pencils left after he gave away 8, so originally he had 40 + 8 pencils, which is 48.
Now, he bought 4 packages, which had a total of 48 pencils, so divide 48 by 4, which is 12. He had 12 pencils in each package.
To determine the solution arithmetically, first add 8 to 40, then divide 48 by 4.
To determine the solution algebraically, set up and solve the equation 40 = 4x - 8.
Each package contained 12 pencils.
Hope this helps
