Answer 1

A

Hardcover version: 24.99$(100%)
Paperback: 24.99$-40%

Paperback=24.99$x(100%-40%)
=24.99$x60%
=14.99$

The paperback version cost 14.99$.

B and C don’t make much sense sorry tho.

Answer 2

part c and b arent clear but the answer to a is this:

if you want to find 40% of something, start with finding 10% then multiplying by 4 to get 40%. 10% of 24.99 is 2.49. 2.49 times four is 9.96. so thats 40% of 24.99.

to find the price, subtract 9.96 from 24.99.

you get $15.03
