Kristian Krause · Answer 1

D. 75%

Step-by-step explanation:

Percent of full retail price = 8 + (1/2) (8) + (3/4) (8) / 24

This simplifies to 0.75, which is equivalent to 75 percent.

$24 is full retail price so by dividing the amount Gia paid by it, you can find the percent of the full retail price.
