Question

A restaurant has a coupon good for 15% off any $40.00 meal. If after the discount,

you then must pay the sales tax of 7%, what is the total amount you would pay at the
restaurant?
O $31.75
O $38.82
$46.00
O$36.38

Answer 1

4. $36.38

Explanation:

$40.00 * 15% (0.15) = $6.00 <-- how much is the discount is

or $40.00 * (0.85) = $34.00 <-- how much you pay after the discount is applied

$34.00 * 7% (0.07) = $2.38 <-- total amount of tax being paid

$34.00 + $2.38 = $36.38

4. $36.38
