Lin's father is paying for a $20 meal. He has a 30%-off coupon for the meal. After the discount, a 8% sales tax is applied. What does Lin's father pay for the meal? Just type the number answer (without the dollar sign), and be prepared to explain or
show your reasoning.

15.12

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost of meal = $20

Discount (coupon) = 30%

Amount of discount = 30% of $20

= 30/100 * 20

= 0.3 * 20

= $6

Amount paid after discount= initial cost of meal - discount

= $20 -$6

= $14

Sales tax =8%

Amount of sales tax = 8% of $14

= 8/100 * 14

= 0.08 * 14

= $1.12

Total amount paid = Amount paid after discount + Amount of sales tax

= $14 + $1.12

= 15.12

she was supposed to add the hours(38.5) and multiply the amount of money she earned(7.50) resulting in $288.75 .
