Answer 2

Price for senior citizens is $2.655 .

Explanation:

As given

The local coffee shop offers a 10 percent discount to senior citizens on a cup of coffee and a donut.

If the regular price is $2.95.

10% is written in the decimal form.

`= (10)/(100)`

= 0.10

Discount price = 0.10 × 2.95

= $ 0.295

Price for senior citizens = Original price - Discount price

= $2.95 - $ 0.295

= $2.655

Therefore price for senior citizens is $2.655 .
