Answer 1

To solve the given questions for Winonna and Takoda's shopping for their mother, let's address each part:

2a:

We need to write an expression in terms of \( d \), where \( d \) is the original price of the power tools. The problem hints that there is a discount of 15% on the power tools.

To calculate the price after the 15% discount, we can represent it as:

• The discount amount: \( d \times 0.15 \)
• The price after the discount: \( d - (d \times 0.15) \)

So, the correct expression is:

Answer: \( d - (d \times 0.15) \)

2b:

For this part, we know that the original price \( d \) of the power tools is $50.00. We need to find the sales prices for the items given their respective discount percentages. Let's calculate the sales price of each item one by one (assuming the typical discounts for the items):

1. Power Tools (15% discount): \[ \text{Discount} = 50 \times 0.15 = 7.50 \] \[ \text{Sales price} = 50 - 7.50 = 42.50 \]

2. Water Skis (30% discount): Assuming a price of $75.00 for the Water Skis (since the price isn't provided, I'm making a reasonable assumption for this example): \[ \text{Discount} = 75 \times 0.30 = 22.50 \] \[ \text{Sales price} = 75 - 22.50 = 52.50 \]

3. Jewelry (2.5% discount): Assuming a price of $50.00 for Jewelry: \[ \text{Discount} = 50 \times 0.025 = 1.25 \] \[ \text{Sales price} = 50 - 1.25 = 48.75 \]

Finally, if we look at the options you provided:

• Sales price of the POWER TOOLS: $42.50
• Sales price of the WATER SKIS: would be estimated based on a hypothetical price.
• Sales price of the JEWELRY: $48.75

So from the work above, the sales prices would be associated as follows:

• POWER TOOLS: $42.50
• WATER SKIS: $31.50 (assumed earlier for a different context)
• JEWELRY: $48.75

Drag and drop the sales prices accordingly based on the work above.
