Problema Solution
At a local restaurant, a couple ordered two dinners for $12.50 each and two drinks for $1.50 each. If the couple left an 18% tip, what was the total cost of the meal?
Answer provided by our tutors
the two dinners cost: 2*$12.50 = $25.00
the two drinks cost: 2*$1.50 = $3.00
total cost = cost + 18% tip
total cost = (25 + 3) + 0.18(25 + 3)
total cost = 28(1 + 0.18)
total cost = 28*1.18
total cost = $33.04
