Your parents take your family out to dinner on a Wednesday night when they have a 15% off coupon. Your parents wanted to give the waiter a 18% tip for doing a great job. If the total amount of the dinner was $42.00, how much tip money should the waiter get? What is the new total? **Tip is given before the discount**

Answer:

a. Tip is before the discount so the waiter will get;

= 42 * 18%

= $7.56

b. New total;

Coupon of 15% off applies;

= 42 * (1 - 15%)

= $35.70

Add the tip;

= 35.70 + 7.56

= $43.26
