    Explanation
    Discounts make the total cost go down, lower, or drop because they reduce the price of the item or service being purchased. When a discount is applied, the amount saved is subtracted from the original price, resulting in a lower total cost. Therefore, the correct answer options accurately describe the effect of discounts on the total cost.

    Explanation

      The waiter or waitress

    Correct Answer
    C. The waiter or waitress
    Explanation
    A tip goes to the waiter or waitress because they provide service to the customers in a restaurant. Tipping is a common practice in many countries where customers show appreciation for the service received by leaving a gratuity for the server. The tip is a way to acknowledge their hard work, attentiveness, and overall dining experience. It helps supplement their income as their wages may be lower due to the expectation of receiving tips.
