Mr. Jubran goes to a restaurant and has a bill of $32.57. He uses a 10% off coupon on the cost of the meal. The tax is 8%. He leaves a tip of 18% on the amount
before the coupon or tax applied. How much does he spend?

$36.97  

The cost of the meal was $32.57 and he used a 10% off coupon. You can make 10% equal to 0.1 because . Now do . This is the discount, so you want to subtract this from the original to get the actual price of the meal, .

The tax was 8% so this means he is adding

b. y = 4x - 2

step-by-step explanation:

to find a parallel equation to an equation, make sure both equations have the same slope but different y-intercepts.

y = 4x + 1

4 = slope

1 = y-intercept

y = 4x - 2

4 = slope

-2 = y-intercept

they both have the same slope but different y-intercepts, so, b. is the correct answer.

and to check your work, you can graph both equations. : )
