If you substract 9.99-1.4985= $8.4915 this is the sale price.

Answer 2

The sale price is $8.4915

Explanation:

Consider the provided information.

The local drugstore is offering 15% off the normal price for a 16-pack of AAA batteries.

That means customer needs to pay 85% of the normal amount.

The price of 16-pack of AAA batteries is normally $9.99

Calculate the 85% of 9.99

`(85)/(100)* 9.99`

`0.85* 9.99`

`8.4915`

Hence, the sale price is $8.4915
