D. $1239 x 1.0625

Answer 1

Answer:

You would use B. 1239 times .0625

Step-by-step explanation:

I am assuming the computer costs 1239. Since percent means 'per hundred' you first need to convert percent into decimals. You would divide 6.25 by 100, giving you .0625. Multiplying the computer price and this decimal will give you the discount price.
