Question

The Jayden family eats at a restaurant that is having a 15% discount promotion. Their meal

costs $78.86 before the discount, and they leave a 20% tip. If the tip applies to the cost of
the meal before the discount, what is the total cost of the meal? Round your intermediate
calculations and answer to the nearest cent.

Answer 1

Answer: $80.44

Explanation:

First of all, find 20% of 78.86, which is approximately 15.77.

Then, add it to the cost of the meal.

Finally, discount 15% of 94.63, which is approximately $14.19, and then subtract it from $94.63, and there's your answer.
