a
A) 80%
B) 15%
C) 18%
D) 20%

Answer 1

Answer: D

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Subtract 36 to 28.80

2. Divide the answer to the first price (36.00)- 7.5 divided by 36.00 or 36

3. When you calculate and find the answer as a decimal, then make it into a percentage

So if... you divide 7.5 divided by 36, you get the decimal of 0.2, and when you move the decimals two places only, you get your answer of 20%.
