Question

At the store, I bought

coffee that costs $9.86,
creamer for $2.15, and
sugar that was $1.99. If I
used my employee
discount and got 15% off,
what was my total bill?

Answer 1

$11.90 total bill after discount.

Explanation:

the original amount is $14.00 with 15% discount it will come down to $11.90. Your discount was $2.10.

Answer 2

$11.90

Explanation:

.85(9.86 + 2.15 + 1.99)

.85(14)

11.90

If we take off 15% from 100%, that leaves 85%. 85% as a decimal is .85
