Answer:
$30.72
Step-by-step explanation:
You were right with your answer, the teacher is probably just wanting you to tip on the subtotal (before tax) instead of the total total. Instead of doing total+tax+tip, we're going to figure out the tax and tip separately and then add it all together.
<u>Tipping on the subtotal (what your teacher wanted)</u>
20% of $24 = $4.80
8% of $24 = $1.92
$24+$4.80+$1.92=$30.72
<u>Tipping on the total (what you did)</u>
8% of $24 is $1.92
New total is $25.92
20% of $25.92 is $5.18
$25.92 + $5.18 = $31.10
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
each box has 12 melon for 15 dollars:
the price of one melon : 15/12=1.25 dollar each
he bought 12 boxes of melon and paid 15 dollars for each :
12*15=180 dollars
total melon is : 12*12=144 dollars
he sold 3/4 of a melon : 3/4 *144=108
the cost of 108 : 108*1.25= 135 dollars
at a price of $ 1.6 = 108*1.6= 172.8
the rest of the melon sold at reduce price=
144-108= 36
over all profit = 15 %
180*(1+0.15)=207 dollars profit
selling 108 melons : $172.8
overall profit - profit from selling 108 melons: 207-172.8=$34.2
<h2>reduced price = 34.2/36=0.95 dollars</h2>
