a).0005
b).005
c).05
d).5

Answer 1

The education, savings and number of nuts are extraneous (extra) information that is of no use. If the original price is .01 per nut, I assume that the answer is also "per nut." You can solve the problem in one of two ways.

50% = .5 = 1/2

You can either multiply the original cost per nut by .5 or 1/2 or divide it by 2.

I hope this helps. Thanks for asking.

Answer 2

so the answer is c?
