Answer:

  • B.77.00

Step-by-step explanation:

Note: there is typo- 549 should read $49

Discount is:

  • $70 - $49 = $21

Discount % is:

  • 21/70*100% = 30%

Applying same discount to pair of shoes for $110:

  • $110 - 30% =
  • $110*(100 - 30)/100 =
  • $110*0.7 =
  • $77

Correct option is B
