Question

Greg and Alana went out to dinner. Their dinner bill came to $68.89. If they had a $10 coupon and left a 15% tip, how much did they pay in total? Please provide a full equation/explanation!

Answer 1

Explanation:

Here's how we can calculate the total amount they paid:

Start with the original bill: $68.89

Subtract the coupon: $68.89 - $10 = $58.89

Calculate the tip: $58.89 * 15% = $8.83 (Note: To calculate the tip, we multiply the subtotal by the percentage as a decimal. 15% is equivalent to 0.15 as a decimal)

Add the tip to the subtotal: $58.89 + $8.83 = $67.72

Therefore, Greg and Alana paid a total of $67.72 for their dinner.
