Your answer would ultimately be A because you would multiply 100 by the percent 55 which u would take the dot like it usually is a the end of the number and move it over to the left two places to get your number then you would multiply 100 by .55 to get 55$

Answer:

The answer to your question is 55

Explanation:

If we divided $100 by 55% then it would be 181.82, but we are multiplying 100 by 55%, so the answer would be 55.

I hope this has satisfied you.
