Question

Emanuel and three of his friends go out to dinner. Their total bill at the end of the meal is $255.38. Since their food was not cooked correctly, they receive a 20% discount. If they pay an 11% tax on their meal, how much did each person pay for dinner if they decide to split the check equally among them?

Answer 1

Explanation:

Multiply 255.38 times 0.20 (20%). You get 51.076. Subtract 51.076 from 255.38. You get 204.304. Multiply this by 0.11 (11%). You get 22.47344. Add this to 204.304. You end with 226.77744. Divide this by 4. You get 56.69436 or $56.69 a piece.
