    Answer:

    The 15% discount means that they only pay 100%-15% = 85% of the meal’s bill.

    This would cost 85% * 78.65.

    However, they also have to pay a 20% tip of the meal cost.

    This would cost 20% * 78.65.

    Total Cost = (85% * 78.65) + (20% * 78.65)

    = 105% * 78.65

    = 1.05 * 78.65

    = $82.58
