A. 18.60, because you multiply 18.6 by .05 to get .93, and then subtract .93 from 18.6 to get 17.67.

Answer:

Option A is correct.

Explanation:

Let the full price of the wallet be represented by = x

Total amount that Nathan paid for the wallet = $17.67

Discount percentage = 5% or 0.05 = 0.05x (5% of full price)

So, equation becomes: full price - discount price = 17.67


x-0.05x=17.67


0.95x=17.67

x = $18.60

Therefore, the full price of the wallet is $18.60.

We can also check this by taking out 5% of 18.60


0.05*18.60=0.93

And
18.60-0.93=17.67

So, option A is correct.
