To determine the sales price for each item after applying the discount percentages to the original price of $50.00, we can follow these steps:

  1. Identify the discount percentages for each item (not provided in your question, but you'll need to have them).
  2. Calculate the discount amount for each item by using the formula: \[ \text{Discount Amount} = \text{Original Price} \times \left( \frac{\text{Discount Percentage}}{100} \right) \]
  3. Calculate the sales price by subtracting the discount amount from the original price: \[ \text{Sales Price} = \text{Original Price} - \text{Discount Amount} \]

Assuming hypothetical discount percentages (to illustrate how to do this calculation):

  • Power Tools: 30% discount \[ \text{Discount Amount} = 50.00 \times (0.30) = 15.00 \] \[ \text{Sales Price} = 50.00 - 15.00 = 35.00 \]

  • Water Skis: 15% discount \[ \text{Discount Amount} = 50.00 \times (0.15) = 7.50 \] \[ \text{Sales Price} = 50.00 - 7.50 = 42.50 \]

  • Jewelry: 2.5% discount \[ \text{Discount Amount} = 50.00 \times (0.025) = 1.25 \] \[ \text{Sales Price} = 50.00 - 1.25 = 48.75 \]

Now based on these values, you would match:

  • Sales price of the POWER TOOLS: $35.00 (not in your provided options)
  • Sales price of the WATER SKIS: $42.50
  • Sales price of the JEWELRY: $48.75

Given the options you provided — $31.50, $42.50, $48.75 — only the sales prices for WATER SKIS and JEWELRY match.

Final Answers

  • Sales price of the POWER TOOLS: (not available in your options)
  • Sales price of the WATER SKIS: $42.50
  • Sales price of the JEWELRY: $48.75
