20 % ( not sure how to explain this ) because 5 out of 20 is equal to 20 % cause 20 +20 + 20 +20+20 equal 100 so taking 5 people off would equal to 20%
First we need to know how much the discount was so 5% is actually 0.05 then we need to multiply it by 53.75 which would equal 2.6875 then subtract it by 53.75 which would equal -51.0625.
B) .95(53.75)
This is a trick question because D) could also be correct if they said you could subtract it but it's not saying use the distributive property.
