A$49
B$140
C$91
D$175
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. $91
1. The sale price equals the original price minus the amount of discount.
2. Substitute the known values: sale price equals 140 minus 49.
3. Subtracting gives a sale price of $91.
4. Check that this makes sense: $91 is indeed less than the original price of $140.
