Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To find the discount on the sofa, we first need to determine how much the discount is.

45% of $2000 = 0.45 x 2000 = $900

Therefore, the discount on the sofa is $900. To find the sale price of the sofa after the discount is applied, we need to subtract the discount from the original price:

$2000 - $900 = $1100

Therefore, the sale price of the sofa is $1100. Choice A is the correct answer because it is the only option that matches the discount amount of $900. To find the discount, we need to multiply the original price by the percentage discount: $2000 x 0.45 = $900. So the discount is $900 off the regular price, which means the sale price of the sofa would be $2000 - $900 = $1100. Rounded to the nearest cent, this is $1100.00. Therefore, the best choice is A.
