A. $1.73
B. $9.77
C. $13.23
D. $15.00

Answer 1

It is option A hope this helps

Answer 2

Hi there!

Right away we can eliminate both C.) and D.) because unless the percent is above 100, then the number wont be bigger than the original number.

Now, to figure this out, we have to turn the percent into a decimal:

15 ------------> (Divide by 100) -----------> .15

Now multiply:

11.50 x .15 = 1.73

So the answer is A.) $1.73

Hope this helps!
