bryan picked up dinner for his family. the total bill was $32.57 plus 8% tax. he has a 10% off coupon for the food. if he plans to leave an 18% tip on the original cost of the meal, how much will the dinner cost altogether



Answer :

Answer:

$37.36

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the tip is 18% of the original price, you would multiply 32.57 by 0.18, and then add it to the original value (or just multiply it by 1.18). And then, since discounts are applied before tax, you would do 1 - 0.1 to find how much of the original cost is remaining after the 10% discount. And then you would multiple what you have left by 1.08 to get the total price of the dinner.

32.57 * 1.18 = 38.4326

38.4326 * 0.9 = 34.58934

34.58934 * 1.08 = 37.3564872

And then since money is to the nearest hundredths, your final answer would be $37.36.
