Answer 1

Option B. $7.68 is the correct answer, hope this helps

Answer 2

Option b. $7.68

Explanation:

we know that

1) The music store is having a 15% off sale on all classical music cds

`100\%-15\%=85\%=85/100=0.85`

If the cd has a price of $23.99

then

The price with 15% off sale is equal to

`\$23.99(0.85)=\$20.39`

2) Lyell has a coupon for 20% off any classical music cd.

`100\%-20\%=80\%=80/100=0.80`

If the cd with a 15% off sale has a price of $20.39

then

The price with a coupon for 20% off is equal to

`\$20.39(0.80)=\$16.31`

Find the difference between the original price and the final price

`\$23.99-\$16.31=\$7.68`
