Answer:

Option b. $7.68

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

1) The music store is having a 15% off sale on all classical music cds

[tex]100\%-15\%=85\%=85/100=0.85[/tex]

If the cd has a price of $23.99

then

The price with 15% off sale is equal to

[tex]\$23.99(0.85)=\$20.39[/tex]

2) Lyell has a coupon for 20% off any classical music cd.

[tex]100\%-20\%=80\%=80/100=0.80[/tex]

If the cd with a 15% off sale has a price of $20.39

then

The price with a coupon for 20% off is equal to

[tex]\$20.39(0.80)=\$16.31[/tex]

Find the difference between the original price and the final price

[tex]\$23.99-\$16.31=\$7.68[/tex]

Option B. $7.68 is the correct answer, hope this helps
