Question 353648: An aunt gave you a 25% off coupon for a meal. Your meal cost $35. When the server brought you the bill, it was $30 (without tax). How much did the server over charge you? Answer by sofiyac(983) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 25% of $35 is 35*.25=8.75, so the bill without tax should have been 35-8.75=26.25. But since the bill was $30, then you were over charged 30-26.25=3.75
