Question

The Barnes family has a coupon for 10% off their dinner. If their bill comes to $82.50 and they wish to tip 15%, what will they pay in total?

Answer 1

Total cost= $86.25

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Discount= 10%

Nill= $82.5

Tip= 15%

First, we need to calculate the discounted price:

Discount price= 82.5 / 1.1= $75

Now, the tip:

Tip= 75*0.15= $11.25

Finally, the total cost:

Total cost= 75 + 11.25

Total cost= $86.25
