Margie and four friends are eating lunch at a restaurant. The total bill is $52.50 before tax and tip. Margie has a coupon good for $10off their total purchase. If sales tax of 6 percent is collected on the discount amount, what is the total cost after tax?
52.50....before tax and discount (don't see anything about a tip) has a $ 10 off coupon.. 52.50 - 10 = 42.50...this is the discount amount has a 6% sales tax 0.06(42.50) = 2.55...this is the sales tax for a total of : 42.50 + 2.55 = 45.05 <==
