applied?
a
O $89.00
O $77.00
O $73.33
O $33.00

Answer 1

$77

Explanation:

The answer is $77 because first you need to find how much money was discounted by doing 70-49 to get 21. Then you need to find how much percent 21 is of 70 by doing 21/70, then you would get 0.3 which is 30% since you have to multiply it by 100. This means that there is a 30% discount. Then you would do 0.3*110=33. This means that the 30% discount takes away $33. So 110-33=77. The answer is $77.
