Hey there!

If the price of a CD on sale is 0.65c, then 0.35 was taken off of the original price. You can find this if you subtract 0.65 from 1, or 65% from 100%.

Your answer would not be your second option or your fourth option, since the price you're paying is 0.65 of the original price and you are getting 0.35 of the price off. Also, your third option wouldn't be correct either, since 0.35 isn't being added on top of the total price.

Your answer is your first option.

Hope this helped you out! :-)

We can represent the cost of the notebooks with by saying 0.75n, and the cost of the pens by saying 0.55p.

0.75n+0.55p will be the total cost before tax. Now, we need to add on tax. Tax will be 0.0625 times the total amount, so we can represent the cost by saying

(0.75n+0.55p) + 0.0625(0.75n+0.55p), so the answer is B.
