Brittany's family went to dinner at her favorite restaurant because her father had a coupon for 15% off. Her father said if she could correctly figure out the total cost of dinner, including the 5% sales tax, he would take them all out for frozen yogurt on the way home. The meal cost $64.00 without the discount. Brittany determined the total, with the discount and sales tax, will be $58.12. Did Brittany figure it out correctly?

no - total is $57.12

Step-by-step explanation:

64.00 - 15% = 64.00 x 15% = 9.60

64.00 - 9.60 = 54.40

54.40 x 5% = 2.72

54.40 + 2.72 = 57.12
