Answer 1

Answer:  C) $1.05

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : All batteries were listed on sale for 15% off the regular price.

Discount price = 15%=0.15

Keith usually pays $6.99 for a battery for his watch.

Discount amount = $\text{Price of a battery }\times\text{Discount percent}$

$=\ 6.99\times0.15\\\\=\ 1.0485\approx\ 1.05\ \ \text{[ Rounded to the nearest cent.]}$

Hence, discount will Keith receive on his purchase of a new watch battery = $1.05
