Answer: $20.70

Step-by-step explanation: He pays $20.70, follow these steps:

The formula for finding the percentage:

Whole number * part percent / 100

Plug in the numbers:

23 x 10 / 100

23 x 10 = 230

230 / 100 = $2.30

That's not all, we need to subtract $2.30 from the original amount. So:

23 - 2.30 = $20.70

After the rebate, Deon pays $20.70

He saves $2.30

I hope this helps!
