Answer 1

Answer:

$67.55 did dontrelle pay.

Step-by-step explanation:

As per the statement: Dontrelle received 30% off when he purchased a rare book reguraly priced at $96.50.

He purchased a rare book regularly prices = $96.50.

Let part of quantity he pay be x.

$\frac{percent part}{percent whole} = \frac{part of quantity}{whole quantity}$

$\frac{100-30}{100} =\frac{x}{96.50}$

$\frac{70}{100} = \frac{x}{96.50}$

⇒$x = 96.50 \times \frac{70}{100}$

Simplify:

x = $67. 55

Therefore, $67.55 did dontrelle pay.
