Answer 1

$43.88

Explanation:

The subtotal for the order = $46.19.

The diner uses a coupon for 25% off the subtotal and leaves a 20% tip before the discount.

First, determine the tip amount.

`\text{Tip}=20\%\text{ of }$\$46.19$=0.2*46.19=\$9.24`

The tip amount is $9.24.

Next, we are told that the diner uses a coupon for 25% off the subtotal.

`\begin{gathered} \text{Subtotal after coupon}=46.19-(25\%\text{ of }46.19) \\ =46.19-(0.25*46.19)=46.19-11.55 \\ =\$34.64 \end{gathered}`

The subtotal after the coupon is applied is $34.64.

Thus, the total paid is the sum of the tip and subtotal after the coupon is applied.

`\begin{gathered} \text{Total}=34.64+9.24 \\ =\$43.88 \end{gathered}`

The total paid is $43.88.
