Question

I KNOW THIS IS KIND OF ALOT BUT PLEASE HELP

Billy and Tom are out to dinner. Their bill comes to a total of $100. They have a 15% off coupon but tax and tip must also be included. The tax is 6% and is applied before the 20% tip. If Billy and Tom want to split the bill, how much will they each have to pay?

1. How much is their bill after the coupon has been applied?
2. With the coupon applied, what is their new total (including the tax)?
3. With their new total, Billy and Tom can now determine the tip for their server. What is the final total, including the tip?
4. What will Billy and Tom each have to pay to split the bill evenly?

Please answer labeled with numbers! thankyou!

Answer 1

1. $85

2. $90.10

3.$108.12

4.$54.06

Explanation:

100-15=85 (15% of 100 is 15)

6 percent of 85 is 5.10. So 85 + 5.10=90.10

20 percent of 90.10 is 18.02. So add that to the total. 90.10+18.02=108.12

Now divide by 2 to get how much they each will pay 108.12/2 = 54.06
