Question

Suppose you want to treat your office team to lattes at a local coffee shop. The drinks are $4.25 each,

plus you plan to buy a $3 scone for yourself. You also tip the barista 10% and have to pay 8.25% sales tax.
How many lattes can you afford if you have $60 to spend?

Answer 1

11 lattes and 1 scone

Explanation:

11×4.25= 46.75+3.00= 49.75

49.75×8.25%= $53.85

10% of $53.85 is $5.38

53.85+5.38= $59.23

You will have .77 left

Answer 2

Answer: 10 lattes

lmk if this is incorrect

Explanation:

sales tax: 60(.0825)=4.95

tip: 60(.10)=6

scone: 3

total excluding lattes: 4.95+6+3=13.95

total left to spend on lattes: 60-13.95=46.05

amount of lattes you can afford: 46.05/4.25=10.835294.....
