To write a fraction as a decimal, you divide the denominator by the numerator.

"The decimal number is just a shorthand way of writing a fraction with a denominator of one thousand. It means the very same thing as . But this is just the algorithm for dividing the numerator by the denominator to get the decimal digits ."

Step-by-step explanation:

total amount to be paid = $19.5

step-by-step explanation:

given ,

original price = $25.99

discount = 25%

discount amount = 25% of original price

discount amount = 25/100   * 25.99

discount amount = $6.49

hence , the total amount to be paid = original price - discount amount

                                                            = $25.99 - $6.49

                                                            =$19.5

total amount to be paid = $19.5

b is the correct answer
