O a.) a. $2.89; b. $11.46
Ob.) a. $2.99; b. $11.96
Oc.) a. $2.99; b. $11.86

Answer 1

Answer is b. $2.99, $11.96
Step by step
We know the regular price is 14.95
We know the discount os 20%
To find the mark down or discount, multiply the price x % discount
14.95 x .20 = 2.99 discount
To find the final price, take the original price less the markdown price
14.95 - 2.99 = 11.96
So $2.99 and $11.96
