Answer:
The original cost of the pizza before the discount coupon and the tax was $49.28.
Explanation:
Given that Heather paid $ 37.50 for a pizza to be delivered to her house, and she had a coupon for 30% off and there is a tax of 8%, to determine what was the total cost of the pizza to be delivered, the following calculation has to be done:
100 - 8 = 92
100 = 37.50
92 = X
92 x 37.50 / 100 = X
34.50 = X
100 - 30 = 70
70 = 34.50
100 = X
100 x 34.50 / 70 = X
49.28 = X
Thus, the original cost of the pizza before the discount coupon and the tax was $ 49.28.
