B -0.9821

Step-by-step explanation:

A.

First, we need to distribute the across the parenthesis.

(-8) + (12)

+

2

2.667 --- convert to decimal with 3 places

B.

a =

4 =

5 =

+

×

×

total amount to be paid = $19.5

step-by-step explanation:

given ,

original price = $25.99

discount = 25%

discount amount = $6.49

hence , the total amount to be paid = original price - discount amount

                                                            = $25.99 - $6.49

                                                            =$19.5

total amount to be paid = $19.5
