THIS IS URGENT PLEASE HELP!!!!

the smith family has a 10% off coupon for dinner at their favorite restaurant. Of the bill $42.50 and they wish to leave a 15% tip, what will they pay in total?

Answer 1

The answer is 44.625 .

Explanation:

Basically, if we have a pretend number line in your head, subtract 10%. Now, you will have -10%. Add 15%, now: you will have 5%. So, do $42.50 x 5%.

How to calculate percentage of a number. Use the percentage formula: P% * X = Y

Convert the problem to an equation using the percentage formula: P% * X = Y.

P is 10%, X is 150, so the equation is 10% * 150 = Y.

Convert 10% to a decimal by removing the percent sign and dividing by 100: 10/100 = 0.10.

The answer is 44.625 payed in total to their favorite restaurant.
