Answer 2

Answer: $10.56

Explanation:

Original price of the shirt = $16

From the question, Sale price = 34% of the original price

If original price = $16, Sales price will be 34% of original price - original price

= 0.34 × 16 - 16;

Apply BODMAS; multiply before subtracting

=16 - 0.34 × 16

=$16 - $5.44

Sales price= $10.56
