Question

Since it's Wednesday, Buy for Less gives a 10% discount for purchases. The items in Rhonda's cart total $85.00. She needs to know the cost of the items with the discount. So, she multiplies 10% times $85.00 and subtracts the amount from $85.00 Which expression would give Rhonda the same result in one step?

Answer 1

She needs to count how much 90% ist so
85.00*90%
or 8500*0.9

Answer 2

Answer:

$90\% \times 85$

Step-by-step explanation:

According to her

Discount = 10%

Total Cost = $85.00

So, Discount amount = $10\% \times 85$

                                   = $\frac{10}{100} \times 85$

                                   = $8.5$

Amount to be paid = $85.00 - $8.50

                                 = $76.50

Another way

Since we are given that 10% is discount

So, she need to pay 90% of amount

So, Amount to be paid =$90\% \times 85$ = $76.50

Hence the expression would give Rhonda the same result in one step is $90\% \times 85$
