Question

Josh went to a restaurant for dinner. The cost of the

meal was $24 with a discount of $2. If the total bill includes
an 8% sales tax and a 14% tip, what is the discount
percent? What was the total bill including the tax and the
tip?

Answer 1

17.41 Dollars

Explanation:

First, you take the discount, which is 2 dollars, so now the cost without any additional costs is 22 dollars. Next, find 8 percent of 22 by multipling 22*0.08 and then you get 1.76. Subtract that from 22 and 20.24. Then take 14 percent of 20.24 by multiplying it by 0.14, which you get 2.8336. Round that down and you get 2.83. Subtract that from that and you get 17.41.
