(b) How much money will you spend on the DVD?

1 answer

(a) To calculate the amount of money you will save, you need to find 10% of $17.

10% of $17 = 0.10 * $17 = $1.70

You will save $1.70.

(b) To find out how much money you will spend on the DVD, you need to subtract the savings from the original price.

$17 - $1.70 = $15.30

You will spend $15.30 on the DVD.
