Question: Tim spent $50.00 on Chinese take-out. 80% of the cost went to 4 entrees. The rest of the money went to 2 appetizers that each cost the same amount. How much was the price of a single appetizer?
Answer: He spent $50.00 and 80% of the meal went to entrees so he spent 50 * .80 = $40.00 on entrees. He spent $50.00 and $40.00 went to entrees so that leaves $50 - $40 = $10.00 for appetizers. Each appetizer costs the same amount and he spent $10.00 all together so each appetizer is $10 / 2 = $5.00. The answer is 5.

Q: Dexter went to the mall and saw that Apple products are on sale. He wants to buy an iPhone 12 with a 15% discount and an iWatch with a 10% discount. The price tag shows that an iPhone 12 costs $800 while an iWatch costs $300. Upon check out, he will receive a further 2% cashback discount. How much would the items cost in total after the discount and cashback?
A: The discount for an iPhone 12 is $800 x 15 / 100 = $120. So, the iPhone will now cost $800 - $120 = $680. The discount for an iWatch is $300 x 10 / 100 = $30. So, the iWatch will now cost $300 - $30 = $270. The total cost of the iPhone and iWatch is $680 + $270 = $950. The cashback will be $950 x 2 / 100 = $19. Thus, Dexter will only pay $950 - $19 = $931. The answer is 931.
