Choose an amount between $50.00 and $60.00 to represent the cost of a meal for a family. Be sure to include dollars and cents.
Part A: If the family has a 15%-off coupon, calculate the new price of the meal. Show all work or explain your steps.
Part B: Calculate a 20% tip using the new price. What is the final cost of the meal? Show all work or explain your steps.
Let's choose the amount $55.00 to represent the cost of the meal for a family.
Part A:
To calculate the new price of the meal with a 15% off coupon, we need to find 15% of $55.00 and subtract it from $55.00.
15% of $55.00 is (15/100) * $55.00 = $8.25
The new price of the meal is $55.00 - $8.25 = $46.75
So the new price of the meal after applying the 15% off coupon is $46.75.
Part B:
To calculate a 20% tip on the new price, we need to find 20% of $46.75.
20% of $46.75 is (20/100) * $46.75 = $9.35
The final cost of the meal including the tip is $46.75 + $9.35 = $56.10
So the final cost of the meal, including a 20% tip, is $56.10.
