Question

Kiran's mother gets a restaurant bill for $25. She has a coupon for 15% off. After the

discount is applied, she adds 20% as a tip.
What is the total after the discount and tip? Explain or show your reasoning.

Answer 1

$25.50

Explanation:

So we have a 15% off coupon. We can multiply 25×.85 to find our new price.

Our total is now $21.25

Now to find the tip do $21.25 +(.2 × 21.25)

*The .2 is 20 percent of our discount price.*

We then get $25.50
