Answer 1

Explanation:

To figure out this answer, you need to figure out how much 9% is in $64.00

? 9

------- = --------

64 100

Now to solve this you have to multiply diagonally and divide the neighbor

(let me explain)

basically in this case, you would multiply 64 and 9, then divide by 100

64 * 9 = 576

576 / 100 = $5.76

In short: your answer is 'A' $5.76
