Question

Daniel and Edwin went to lunch. Daniel’s meal cost $20 and Edwin’s meal cost $18.50. They each left an 18% tip on the price of their own meal. How much did Daniel and Edwin pay in total?

Answer 1

The answer is $45.43

Answer 2

$45.43

Explanation:

20 × 0.18 = 3.60

18.50 × 0.18 = 3.33

3.60 + 3.33 = 6.93

The total in tips is 6.93

20 + 18.50 = 38.50

The total meal cost is 38.50

38.50 + 6.93 = 45.43

The total of everything is 45.43
