A family dines in a popular franchise restaurant. They plan to use a coupon that will give them a discount of 10% off of their total dinner bill, not including applicable sales tax or their server’s tip. The bill totals $157.30 before tax and tip. What is the new total after the server applies the 10% off coupon?

Answer:

The total amount without tax is $141.57

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the coupon is 10% off, they would only have to pay 90% of what they would before (this is before tax). To find out the total after the coupon you would find 90% of 157.30. (This is the longer but better explainable/showable way)

157.30 / 100 = 1.573 (this is 1%)

1.573 * 90 = 141.57

Therefore the answer is $141.57
