Question

You and your friends went to UNO's for dinner (way back in 2019). Together the total bill for your meals was $40. You have a 15%-off coupon for the meal! Then, after the discount, a 7% sales tax is applied. What is the final price, after the discount and the tax, that you are your friends have to pay for the meal?

Answer 1

The answer to your question is $36.38

Let me know if you have any questions :)

Answer 2

$36.38

Step by step explanation:

First, we need to find out what 1% of $40 dollars is. To do this, we divide 40 by 100.

This gives us $0.40.

To then find out fifteen percent of $40, you then times $0.40 by 15.

This gives us 6 dollars.

Now, to work out the discount, we take 6 from 40.

$40 - $6 = $34

Now we have to work out the tax.

Again, we have to work out what 1% of $34 is.

This gives us $0.34

Then times that by 7 to find 7%

0.34 x 7 = $2.38

Since this is tax we have to add instead of subtracting.

$34 + $2.38 = $36.38 as the final bill.
