Question

Glenda and Fiero are at a restaurant eating meal that costs $30. They have a discount coupon that gets them 10% off the cost. If they pay the waiter a tip of 8% of their bill, how much are they spending on dinner including tip? (I ALREADY KNOW THE ANSWER. BUT I NEED THE WORK FOR THE ANSWER TO SHOW MY TEACHER) (the answer is $29.16))

Answer 1

The cost of meal =
`$30`

The tip to the waiter =
`8%`%

Discount =
`10%`%

Cost =
`30 + 0.08 * 30 - 0.1 * 30`

Cost =
`30(1 + 0.08 - 0.1)`

Cost = $
`$29.4`0
