My question is: Monica charges $25.00 per person when catering a dinner party. For repeat customers, she offers a 10% discount. Phoebe is a repeat customer who is having a dinner party for 20 guests. How much will Monica make from the party? Your thoughts:
Phoebe is having 20 guests and Monica charges $25.00 per person so that's 20 * 25 = $500.00. Phoebe is a repeat customer so she gets 10% off of $500.00 so that's .10 * 500 = $50.00 discount. Monica is charging $500.00 minus the repeat customer discount of $50.00 so she will make 500 - 50 = $450.00. The final answer: 450.
