Question

Lin's father is paying for a $20 meal. He has a 30%-off coupon for the meal. After the discount, a 8% sales tax is applied.

Answer 1

Answer:

15.12

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost of meal = $20

Discount (coupon) = 30%

Amount of discount = 30% of $20

= 30/100 * 20

= 0.3 * 20

= $6

Amount paid after discount= initial cost of meal - discount

= $20 -$6

= $14

Sales tax =8%

Amount of sales tax = 8% of $14

= 8/100 * 14

= 0.08 * 14

= $1.12

Total amount paid = Amount paid after discount + Amount of sales tax

= $14 + $1.12

= 15.12
