Step-by-step explanation: I took the test

Answer 2

Answer: Dao will pay $ 15,219.2

Explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to multiply the price of the automobile by the percentage discount in decimal form (divided 100)

18,560 (18/100) = 18,560 (0.18) = $ 3,340.8 (discount amount)

Finally, we have to subtract the discount amount to the automobile's price:

18,560- 3,340.8 =$ 15,219.2

Dao will pay $ 15,219.2.
