Question

The Jayden family eats at a restaurant that is having a 15% discount promotion. Their meal costs $78.12 before the discount, and they leave a 20% tip. If the tip applies to the cost of the meal before the discount, what is the total cost of the meal? Round your intermediate calculations and answer to the nearest cent.

Answer 1

Answer:

82.02

Step-by-step explanation:

78.12 x 0.2 = 15.62 tip

78.12 x 0.15 = 11.72 discount

78.12-11.72 = 66.40 discounted meal price

66.40 + 15.62(tip) = 82.02 total meal price
