B) .95(53.75)

Step-by-step explanation:

5% is equal to 0.05. So the following expressions are equivalent.

5% × 53.75 = 0.05 × 53.75

To find the final price, she first takes the 5% and then subtracts the amount from 53.75. That is,

53.75 - 5% × 53.75 = 53.75 - 0.05 × 53.75

We can take out the common factor 53.75

53.75 . (1 - 0.05) = 53.75 . 0.95 = 0.95 . 53.75 = 0.95 (53.75)

555.99.
