Responses

d + (d x 0.15)
d + (d x 0.15)

d + 0.15
d + 0.15

d - 0.15
d - 0.15

d - (d x 0.15)

Answer 1

To find the total amount Winonna and Takoda would pay for the set of power tools, we need to consider the cost of the tools and any discount that might be applied, if applicable. However, since there is no sales tax mentioned and the options provided seem to point toward a discount scenario with no sales tax, it's important to identify if there’s a discount of 15% indicated by the options.

If we assume that "d" represents the original price of the power tools, and there’s a 15% discount, the mathematical expression for the total amount they'd pay after discount would be:

\[ \text{Total} = d - (d \times 0.15) \]

So, the correct expression in terms of "d" is:

d - (d × 0.15)

This corresponds to the last option in your list.
