Answer 2

Answer:

Price for senior citizens is $2.655 .

Step-by-step explanation:

As given

The local coffee shop offers a 10 percent discount to senior citizens on a cup of coffee and a donut.

If the regular price is $2.95.

10% is written in the decimal form.

$= \frac{10}{100}$

= 0.10

Discount price = 0.10 × 2.95

                       = $ 0.295

Price for senior citizens = Original price - Discount price

                                       = $2.95 - $  0.295

                                       = $2.655

Therefore price for senior citizens is $2.655 .
