Respuesta :

Amount of discount
10.95×0.10=1.095
After discount the price
10.95−1.095=9.855

Answer: Amount of Discount = $1.1

Price after discount = $9.8551

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Marking price of an item= $10.95

Discount percent on item =10%

We know that formula to calculate discount percent is given by :-

[tex]\text{Discount percent}=\frac{\text{Discount}}{\text{Marking price}}\times100\\\\\Rightarrow10=\frac{\text{Discount}}{10.95}\times100\\\\\Rightarrow\ \text{Discount}=\frac{10\times10.95}{100}=1.095\approx1.1 ................\text{[To the nearest cents]}[/tex]

Hence, the discount on item = $1.1

Now, the discounted price =Marking price- Discount

[tex]=\$10.95-\$1.1=\$9.85[/tex]

Hence, the  discounted price = $9.85
