To determine the sales price of each present based on the original price of the power tools ($50.00) and the provided discount percentages, we can use the following formula:

\[ \text{Sales Price} = \text{Original Price} - \left( \text{Original Price} \times \frac{\text{Discount Percentage}}{100} \right) \]

Here’s how to calculate each item based on hypothetical discount percentages (you’ll need to replace the percentages with those from your table):

  1. Power Tools (assuming a discount of X%): \[ \text{Sales Price} = 50 - \left( 50 \times \frac{X}{100} \right) = 50 - (0.5X) \] (Replace X with the actual discount percentage)

  2. Water Skis (assuming a discount of Y%): \[ \text{Sales Price} = 50 - \left( 50 \times \frac{Y}{100} \right) = 50 - (0.5Y) \] (Replace Y with the actual discount percentage)

  3. Jewelry (assuming a discount of Z%): \[ \text{Sales Price} = 50 - \left( 50 \times \frac{Z}{100} \right) = 50 - (0.5Z) \] (Replace Z with the actual discount percentage)

Example Calculations

If the discount percentages are as follows:

  • Power Tools: 20%
  • Water Skis: 15%
  • Jewelry: 30%

We can calculate the sales prices as:

  1. Power Tools: \[ \text{Sales Price} = 50 - (50 \times 0.20) = 50 - 10 = 40 \]

  2. Water Skis: \[ \text{Sales Price} = 50 - (50 \times 0.15) = 50 - 7.5 = 42.5 \]

  3. Jewelry: \[ \text{Sales Price} = 50 - (50 \times 0.30) = 50 - 15 = 35 \]

Final Sales Prices

  • Sales price of the Power Tools: $40.00
  • Sales price of the Water Skis: $42.50
  • Sales price of the Jewelry: $35.00

Make sure to insert the actual discount percentages from your table to get the correct sales prices.
