Answer:
$43.88
Explanation:
The subtotal for the order = $46.19.
The diner uses a coupon for 25% off the subtotal and leaves a 20% tip before the discount.
First, determine the tip amount.
[tex]\text{Tip}=20\%\text{ of }$\$46.19$=0.2\times46.19=\$9.24[/tex]The tip amount is $9.24.
Next, we are told that the diner uses a coupon for 25% off the subtotal.
[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{Subtotal after coupon}=46.19-(25\%\text{ of }46.19) \\ =46.19-(0.25\times46.19)=46.19-11.55 \\ =\$34.64 \end{gathered}[/tex]The subtotal after the coupon is applied is $34.64.
Thus, the total paid is the sum of the tip and subtotal after the coupon is applied.
[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{Total}=34.64+9.24 \\ =\$43.88 \end{gathered}[/tex]The total paid is $43.88.
