Question

Lin’s father is paying for a $40 meal he has a 25% off coupon for the meal after the discounts 8% sales tax is applied what does Lynn’s father pay for the meal!

Answer 1

32.4 $

Explanation:

25% off means he is paying 75% of the original price

Original price = 100%

75%=0.75=3/4

3/4 of 40 is 30

Apply 8% tax on amount of 30$ and add calculated value to 30$.

OR: you can think of 30 $ as 100%. You have to add 8% tax--. now you have 108%

108%=1.08

1.08*30=32.4
