Answer 2

9. C. $2.00

10. B. $18.00

11. C. $1.53

12. A. $19.53

Explanation:

10%, or 1/10th of 20 dollars is 2 dollars.

The movie, therefore, will cost 2 dollars less, or 18 dollars before tax.

To find tax, multiply the total (after price reduction) by the percentage tax (as a decimal, 0.085%), which gives you 1.53.

Add the tax and the initial cost together to get the total cost.
