(If you don't know just tell me how to find 15% pls)

Answer 1

1 . Chicken curries - £6.20 X 2 = £12.40 15% of £ 12.40 is £1.86 off = £10.54 +

2 .Onion Soups - £4.00 x 2 = £8.00 15% OF £8.00 is £ 1.20 off = £6.80

3. One Naan bread = £.2.80 15% of £ 2.80 is £ 0.42 p off = £2.38

4. One mint parfait = £ 3.80 15% of £ 3.80 is £ 0.57 p off = £ 3.23

5 .One ice cream delight = £2.60 15% of £ 2.60 is £0.39 p off £ 2.21

= £ 25.16

Explanation:

1. to find out 15% from £12.40 you can divide 12.40 / 100 = 0.124 and then times 0.124 by the percentage = 0.124 x 15 = £ 1.86

2 . to find out 15% from £8.00 you divide again £8.00 / 100 =0.08 and then times 0.08 by the percentage 15 %= 0.08 x 15 = £1.20 off

3. £ 2.80 / 100 =0.028 x 15% = £0.42 p off

4. £ 3.80 /100 = 0.038 x 15% = £ 0.57 p off

5. £ 2.60 /100 = 0.026 x 15% = £ 0.39 p off

Hope that helped !

Answer 2

6.20x2=12.40
4x2=8
Add 2.80 to the above 20.40
23.20
Add 3.80 =27
Finally add 2.60 so total is 29.60
10% would be 2.96 - half of this is 1.48 (5%) so 15% would be 4.44
