Question

A) $-6 (Tony was paid $6 for taking the item)
B) $0
C) $6
D) $94

Answer 1

To calculate the sale price after a discount, you subtract the discount from the regular price. There's a mistake in the provided numbers since you can't have a negative sale price. By correcting the typo and assuming a higher original price, we can find a plausible answer, not given in the options.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is asking to find out what Tony paid for an item after getting a discount. To calculate the sale price of an item after a discount, you subtract the discount amount from the regular price. However, the regular price provided ($29) appears to be less than the discount ($35), which suggests there is an error in the question since you cannot have a negative final price. Assuming there is a typo in the provided question, and the original price was intended to be higher than the discount, let's correct this and suppose the item was $65 instead of $29.

To find out what Tony actually paid, you would perform the following calculation:

Regular Price - Discount = Sale Price

$65 - $35 = $30

So, Tony would pay $30 for the item after applying the $35 discount. This is not one of the provided options (A)$-6, (B)$0, (C)$6, (D)$94, which means there must be a mistake in the question itself.
