Answer:

$7.6965 or $7.70

Step-by-step explanation:

We multiply the price by the amout he bought.

0.75 x 112 = 84 or $8.40

This is how much he would have paid without a discount. To find the discount we multiply the initial amount by the discount percent in decimal form.

8.4 x 0.08375 = 0.7035

This is the amount thay will be subtracted from the initial price.

8.4 - 0.7035 = 7.6965 or $7.70
