Answer:

The answer is C. $9.84

Explanation:

The original price of the DVD is $12.

So, In order to calculate the price reduced by 18%

Original price - ( rate x Original price) = price reduced

18% = 18/100 = 0.18

$12 - (0.18 x $12) = price reduced

Solving

price reduced = $12 - $2.16

price reduced = $9.84

The new price of the DVD with the price reduced by 18% is $9.84
