Question

Your dinner at a restaurant costs $13.65 after you use a coupon for a 25% discount. You leave a tip for $3.00

A) how much was your dinner before the discount?

B) you tip your server based on the price before the discount. What percent tip did you leave? Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a percent

Answer 1

.25x = 13.65
.75x = 13.65
x = 18.20
original bill was $18.20

3/18.20 = .165
165*100 = 16.5
16.5% tip
