Question

Christine wants to buy a bicycle for her little brother. She receives a coupon in the mail for 5% off the bicycle. The bicycle her brother wants is $79. If she already has $50 saved, how much more does she need to purchase the bicycle using the coupon?
A: $25.05

B : $75.05

C : $3.95

D : $50

Answer 1

The answer is A because you would do 79 x 0.05 which equals 3.95 . So you subtract 3.95 from 79 which is 75.05 minus 50 equal to 25.05

Answer 2

Answer:

The answer is A

Step-by-step explanation:

100% = $79

1% = $0.79

100% - 5% = 95% (total amount need to pay)

95% = $75.05

$75.05 - $50 = $25.05 (remaining amount need to be paid)
