kiran's Mother gets a resturant bill for $40. She has a coupon for 25% 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

Answer: $36

Explanation:

Bill is $40, the 25% off coupon is used, and the 20% tip is left.

Step 1: Find 25% of 40

is/40=25/100 ------> 40(25)/100=10

Step 2: Find the new bill price after discount

40-10=30

Step 3: Find the 20% tip of 30

is/30=20/100 ---------> 30(20)/100=6

Step 4: Add the tip with the restaurant bill

30+6=$36
