Question

20% tip. Taxis 9%. what is the total cost of the meal? with description PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 1

With a 15% discount, the meal costs 85% of normal price.

0.85(78.65) = $66.85 meal cost after discount.

 

Tax = 9% so the meal costs 109% of 66.85:

1.09(66.85) = $72.87 on the check

 

They plan to pay 120% of the check cost:

1.2(72.87) = $87.44 actually paid.
