Answer:

Sales price = $5.13

The total price paid (with discount): $0.57

Step-by-step explanation: To find the sales price, you would recall the formula:

Whole number * part percent / 100

Let's plug in the numbers to the formula:

5.70 * 90 / 100

5.70 * 90 = 513

513 / 100 = 5.13

If you wanted to find the total price the person pays AFTER the discount, you subtract 5.13 from 5.70.

So, 5.70 - 5.13 = $0.57

I hope this helps!
