Question

A group of friends purchased frozen yogurt at tutti frutti. Their total bill is $32.50. They use a coupon for 20% off the total. How much will their total will be?

Answer 1

$26.00

Explanation:

Cost = Total Bill - (Total Bill * Discount)

Cost = 32.50 - (32.50 * 20%)

Cost = 32.50 - (32.50 * .2)

Cost = 32.50 - (6.50)

Cost = 26.00

Or alternatively

Cost = Total Bill * (100% - 20%)

Cost = 32.50 * 80%

Cost = 32.50 * .8

Cost = 26
