the price of a pair of shoes is marked down 33%. the original price was $59.85. what is the sales price of the shoes? $16.85 $19.75 $40.10 $45.00
Answer
Explanation:
Step1: Calculate the discount amount
The discount rate is $33%=0.33$, and the original price is $P = 59.85$. The discount amount $D$ is $D=0.33\times59.85$. $D = 0.33\times59.85= 19.7505$.
Step2: Calculate the sales price
The sales price $S$ is the original price minus the discount amount, so $S=59.85 - 19.7505$. $S=40.0995\approx40.10$.
Answer:
$40.10$ (C. $40.10$)
