Answer 1

To determine the sales prices after applying the discounts to the original price of $50.00 for each item, we can calculate the final price using the formula:

\[ \text{Final Price} = \text{Original Price} - (\text{Discount Percentage} \times \text{Original Price}) \]

Here's the breakdown for each of the given items:

1. Power Tools

   • If the discount percentage is, for example, 37%: \[ \text{Final Price} = 50 - (0.37 \times 50) = 50 - 18.50 = 31.50 \]

2. Water Skis

   • If the discount percentage is, for example, 15%: \[ \text{Final Price} = 50 - (0.15 \times 50) = 50 - 7.50 = 42.50 \]

3. Jewelry

   • If the discount percentage is, for example, 2.5%: \[ \text{Final Price} = 50 - (0.025 \times 50) = 50 - 1.25 = 48.75 \]

Now that we have calculated each final sales price based on hypothetical discount percentages, we can assign the correct prices to each present based on those calculations. Here are the prices to be matched:

• Sales price of the POWER TOOLS: $31.50
• Sales price of the WATER SKIS: $42.50
• Sales price of the JEWELRY: $48.75

Make sure to replace the discount percentages with the actual ones from the table to calculate the correct final prices.
