Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To find the discount of the DVD collectors set, we need to multiply the regular price ($51.00) by the percentage discount (35%) expressed as a decimal (0.35):
Discount = $51.00 x 0.35 = $17.85
So the discount is $17.85, which means the new sale price is:
Sale Price = $51.00 - $17.85 = $33.15
Rounding this answer to the nearest cent gives us $33.15, which matches choice letter C. Therefore, the best choice is C. To find the discount, multiply the regular price by the percentage discount as a decimal:
51.00 x 0.35 = 17.85
Therefore, the discount is $17.85, which is closest to answer choice C.
