Question

Three friends go out to dinner. Abby gets a hamburger that costs $8.25,

Maya gets pasta that costs $10.50, and Kayla gets chicken fingers that
cost $6.85. Abby has a coupon for 15% off that she agrees to let
everyone use. Rounded to the nearest dollar, what is the total cost of
the meal, including the discount?

Answer 1

Total: $21.76

Explanation:

Abby: 8.25

Maya: 10.50

Kayla: 6.85

Since Abby has a coupon for 15% we would multiply each meal by 15% to see how much money will be taken off by the coupon.

Abby: 8.25 x 0.15= 1.24

Maya: 10.50 x 0.15=1.58

Kayla: 6.85 x 0.15=1.02

Next subtract the amount of money taken off by the coupon by each meal.

Abby: 7.01

Maya: 8.92

Kayla: 5.83

Total: $21.76
