Question

The subtotal for Abdiel's takeout order is $21.50. What will Abdiel's total be if he uses a coupon for 10% off the subtotal and leaves a 20% tip before the discount? (2 points)

$22.15
$27.95
$23.22
$23.65

Answer 1

Abdiel's total would be $23.22, which is the answer choice C.

Explanation:

The total cost of Abdiel's order would be calculated as follows:

Calculate the tip before the discount: $21.50 x 20% = $4.30

Add the tip to the subtotal: $21.50 + $4.30 = $25.80

Calculate the discount: $25.80 x 10% = $2.58

Subtract the discount from the total cost: $25.80 - $2.58 = $23.22

So, Abdiel's total would be $23.22, which is the answer choice C.
