Three friends go out to dinner. Abby gets a hamburger that costs $8.25,
Maya gets pasta that costs $10.50, and Kayla gets chicken fingers that
cost $6.85. Abby has a coupon for 15% off that she agrees to let
everyone use. Rounded to the nearest dollar, what is the total cost of
the meal, including the discount?
Question
Answer:
Total: $21.76
Step-by-step explanation:
Abby: 8.25
Maya: 10.50
Kayla: 6.85
Since Abby has a coupon for 15% we would multiply each meal by 15% to see how much money will be taken off by the coupon.
Abby: 8.25 x 0.15= 1.24
Maya: 10.50 x 0.15=1.58
Kayla: 6.85 x 0.15=1.02
Next subtract the amount of money taken off by the coupon by each meal.
Abby: 7.01
Maya: 8.92
Kayla: 5.83
Total: $21.76
