Question

91
97
103
109

Answer 1

To find the cost of the sneakers after the 10% discount, we need to subtract 10% of $113.95 from the original price.

10% of $113.95 = (10/100) * $113.95 = $11.395

Now subtracting this amount from the original price:

$113.95 - $11.395 = $102.555

Rounding it to the nearest whole number, the best estimate for the cost of the sneakers after the discount is $103.

Therefore, the answer is 103.
