Answer 1

Answer:

C. $72

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to know the answer, you have to know how much is 40% of $120. You can get the answer by using the multiplication operation.

Let's solve.

Let x be the discount of the candle basket.

x = 40% x $120

x = 0.40 x 120

x = $48

Next is to subtract the discount from the original price of the candle basket.

$120 - $48 = $72

The sale price of the candle basket is $72.

Answer 2

Answer:

It's C

Step-by-step explanation:
