Answer 1

To solve your question:

2a. Total Cost Expression for Power Tools

The total cost expression if Winonna and Takoda buy the power tools, which cost \( d \) with a 15% discount, can be written as follows:

1. Calculate the discount: \( d \times 0.15 \) (which is 15% of \( d \))
2. Then, subtract that discount from the original price: \( d - (d \times 0.15) \)

Therefore, the correct expression is: d - (d x 0.15)

2b. Cost Calculations for Each Present

Given that the original price of the power tools is $50.00 (d = $50.00), let's calculate the sale prices reduced by the discounts for each present. Assume hypothetical discount percentages for other items (since they aren't specified in your question). Here’s an example approach:

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

2. Water Skis: (Assuming a discount of 10%) \[ \text{Assumed Original Price} = 60.00 \] \[ \text{Discount} = 60 \times 0.10 = 6.00 \] \[ \text{Sales Price} = 60 - 6.00 = 54.00 \]

3. Jewelry: (Assuming a discount of 25%) \[ \text{Assumed Original Price} = 80.00 \] \[ \text{Discount} = 80 \times 0.25 = 20.00 \] \[ \text{Sales Price} = 80 - 20.00 = 60.00 \]

Now, the final sales prices would be:

• Sales price of the Power Tools: $42.50
• Sales price of the Water Skis: $54.00
• Sales price of the Jewelry: $60.00

Final Response to Drag and Drop

• Sales price of the POWER TOOLS: $42.50
• Sales price of the WATER SKIS: $54.00
• Sales price of the JEWELRY: $60.00

Feel free to adjust the percentages based on the actual data from your chart!
