Hi there! Do you know how to tackle this or need some help? :)

So basically we just have to calculate the 45% of the regular price, you see?

miracrown · Answer

So the price he pay would be 19-45%(19)

What value do you get?

Now we just need to take that 8.55 from the 19, what do you get?

10.45

So that's how much William paid with the discount: $10.45
