Since it's Wednesday, Buy for Less gives a 10% discount for purchases. The items in Rhonda's cart total $85.00. She needs to know the cost of the items with the discount. So, she multiplies 10% times $85.00 and subtracts the amount from $85.00 Which expression would give Rhonda the same result in one step?

she needs to count how much 90% ist so
85.00*90%
or 8500*0.9

Answer:

[tex]90\% \times 85[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

According to her

Discount = 10%

Total Cost = $85.00

So, Discount amount = [tex]10\% \times 85[/tex]

                                   = [tex]\frac{10}{100} \times 85[/tex]

                                   = [tex]8.5[/tex]

Amount to be paid = $85.00 - $8.50

                                 = $76.50

Another way

Since we are given that 10% is discount

So, she need to pay 90% of amount

So, Amount to be paid =[tex]90\% \times 85[/tex] = $76.50

Hence the expression would give Rhonda the same result in one step is [tex]90\% \times 85[/tex]
