Answer 1

$16.74 will be paid for the chips.

Explanation:

Given:

A 40-pack of Doritos cool ranch chips costs $25.75.

It's on sale at 35% off.

Now, to find the price to pay for the chips.

Cost of chips = $25.75.

Sale = 35% off.

According to question:

Thus, to get the cost of chips on sale at 35% off:

$25.75 - 35% of $25.75.

`=25.75-(35)/(100) * 25.75`

`=25.75-0.35* 25.75`

`=25.75-9.01`

`=16.74`

Therefore, $16.74 will be paid for the chips.
