Answer:
$82.38
Step-by-step explanation:
20 ÷ 100 x 78.45 = 15.69
15.69 = 20% tip
15 ÷ 100 x 78.45 = 11.76
11.76 = 15% of original meal price
78.45 - 11.76 = 66.69
66.69 = discounted meal price
66.69 + 15.69 = $82.38
To find percentages of number, always divide the percentage (E.g, 15%) by 100 then times it by the number (e.g, 78.45).
