Hi! I am here to help you with your question.

The correct answer is C, 330. If you would like a step-by-step explanation please do read what’s written below, if not have a good day!

Buying the extended warranty for the mini-fridge will cost you $41.25 and supposedly, the warranty is 12.5% of the original price.

1. 41.25 (warranty) ÷ 0.125 (12.5, the percentage) which is 330.

Thank you and I hope this helped.
