Question

Lani’s father is paying for a $20 meal. He has a 15%-off coupon for the meal. After the discount, a 7% sales tax is applied to the discounted price. What does Lani’s father pay for the meal? $_________

Answer 1

Answer: 18.19$

Explanation:

20$ x 15/100 = 3$ = discount price

20$ - 3$ = 17$ = discounted price

But 7% sales tax is added to the discounted price.

17 x 7/100 = 1.19$

17$ + 1.19$ = 18.19$ = price for the meal
