Question

Stilton is paying for a $25 meal. He has a 15%-off coupon for the meal. After the discount, a 7% sales tax is applied

Answer 1

Answer:

$19.76

Step-by-step explanation:

First you turn the 15% to 0.15 and then you multiply it with $25 to get 3.75.

That isn't the meal though, but the discount you are going to get.

Now subtract 3.75 from 25 to get $21.25

After that multiply 21.25 with 7% which gets you 1.4875

Then, subtract 1.4875 from 21.25 to get 19.7625 which is rounded to $19.76
