To calculate the sales prices for each item based on the original price of $50.00 and the discount percentages, you will follow these steps:

  1. Calculate the discount amount.
  2. Subtract the discount from the original price to get the sale price.

We need to know the discount percentages for each of the presents to perform the calculations. Since they are not provided, I'll assume some typical discount rates for the calculation as an example:

  • Power Tools: 37% discount
  • Water Skis: 15% discount
  • Jewelry: 2.5% discount

Calculations

  1. Power Tools:

    • Discount = 37% of $50.00
    • Discount Amount = 0.37 * 50 = $18.50
    • Sale Price = $50.00 - $18.50 = $31.50

  2. Water Skis:

    • Discount = 15% of $50.00
    • Discount Amount = 0.15 * 50 = $7.50
    • Sale Price = $50.00 - $7.50 = $42.50

  3. Jewelry:

    • Discount = 2.5% of $50.00
    • Discount Amount = 0.025 * 50 = $1.25
    • Sale Price = $50.00 - $1.25 = $48.75

Final Sales Prices

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

Drag and drop responses

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

You can now match these sales prices to the presents as follows:

  • Power Tools → $31.50
  • Water Skis → $42.50
  • Jewelry → $48.75
