Answer 2

Answer: C) $1.05

Explanation:

Given : All batteries were listed on sale for 15% off the regular price.

Discount price = 15%=0.15

Keith usually pays $6.99 for a battery for his watch.

Discount amount =
`\text{Price of a battery }*\text{Discount percent}`

`=\$6.99*0.15\\\\=\$1.0485\approx\$1.05\ \ \text{[ Rounded to the nearest cent.]}`

Hence, discount will Keith receive on his purchase of a new watch battery = $1.05
