(0.85). 32 represents the final price of the cake in dollars because...​

Answer 1

Answer: 1. $45*1.07 | $45(1.07) 2. (0.85)*32 represent the final price of the cake in dollars because (0.85) is the 15% off in decimals.

Step-by-step explanation:

1 if you multiply 45 by 1.07 it will be 48.15 and that's the final cost of the book, same with $45(1.07) is just another way to represent the multiplication.

2 As I said the 0.85 represent the 15% off, and when you multiply it will be less.
