Question

(10 POINTS AND BRAINLIEST FOR BEST)
On Thursday, the local big box store gives a 15% discount on purchases. The items in Tiffany’s cart total $96.82. She needs to know the cost of the items with the discount. So, she multiplies 15% times $96.82 and subtracts the amount from $96.82. Which expression would give Tiffany the same result in one step?

A.0.15(96.82)
B.0.85(96.82)
C.1.15(96.82)
D.96.82 – 0.15(96.82)

Answer 1

I think its A im not exactly  sure it also could be D.

Answer 2

Answer:

B. 0.85(96.82)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the total cost of items purchased before discount = 1  

Discount on purchases = 15 % = 0.15

Cost of items purchased after discount = (1 - discount) × cost of items in tiffany's cart

Cost of items purchased after discount = (1 - 0.15) of 96.82

Cost of item purchased after discount = 0.85 (96.82)

Therefore option B is the correct answer.
