Answer 1

a. $45.00

b. $53.10

Explanation:

Part A:

Original price of the meal = $60.00

25% discount on $60.00 = 25/100 * $60.00 = $15.00

New price of the meal = Original price - Discount = $60.00 - $15.00 = $45.00

Part B:

New price of the meal after the discount = $45.00

18% tip on $45.00 = 18/100 * $45.00 = $8.10

Final cost of the meal including the tip = New price + Tip = $45.00 + $8.10 = $53.10

So, the final cost of the meal, including an 18% tip, is $53.10.
