Question

Dara bought a doll for his little sister. The price on the tag was $45, but it was 75% off. How much did Dara pay for the doll?

a) $11.25
b) $15
c) $30
d) $45

Answer 1

Dara paid $11.25 for the doll after applying a 75% discount to the original price of $45. The discount amount was $33.75.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is asking us to calculate the final price Dara paid for a doll that was originally priced at $45 but was on sale with a 75% discount. To find the discounted price, we need to calculate 75% of $45 and then subtract it from the original price. The calculation is as follows:

75% of $45 = 0.75 × $45 = $33.75

The amount that will be subtracted from the original price is $33.75. Therefore, Dara paid:

$45 - $33.75 = $11.25

So, the correct answer is a) $11.25.
