Sagot :

Answer:

its B I think

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

B, 29%

Step-by-step explanation:

1. eliminate the ones that dont make sense.

*cross out C*

Why?

2.9% is barely anything so it wouldnt make sense in this situation.

*cross out D*

Why?

71% is alot. its more than half. and 156.20 is less than half of 220.00

*cross out A*

Why?

63.8% is also more than half. the same reason like choice D.

current choices left:

B.

2. multiply the percentages to $220.00

220 * 0.29 = 63.8

220 - 63.8 = 156.2

SO YOUR ANSWER WOULD BE CHOICE B

Hope it helped! ^^
