Answer:

D: $8.95

Explanation:

step 1

Calculate what 15% of the normal price is.

15% as a decimal is 0.15. Multiply this by $9.99.

0.15⋅$9.99 = $1.4985

step 2

Subtract $9.99 by $1.4985 and round the difference to the nearest cent.

$9.99 − $1.4985 = $8.4915 ≈ $8.49

step 3

Match your solution to the correct answer choice.

Answer choice D is the only answer choice that matches your solution. Select answer choice D and move on to the next question.
