Question 10 • 2025-2026 GSP Mathematical Reasoning for Decision Making

A sale is taking place at your local sporting goods store. The store has advertised that all items in the store will be 10% off. If you spend a total of $150.32, determine the amount you would have spent had there not been a sale. Round your answer to the nearest cent.

Answer
A
$167.02
B
$163.54
C
$156.58
D
$165.35

Explanation

A 10% discount means the sale price is 90% of the original price. Divide the amount paid by 0.90: $150.32 ÷ 0.90 = $167.022..., which rounds to $167.02. The correct choice is $167.02.
