Explanation

The correct answer is 10 . It’s given that the cost for the entire purchase was $27 after a coupon was used for $63 off the entire purchase. Adding the amount of the coupon to the purchase price yields 27+63=90. Thus, the cost for the entire purchase before using the coupon was $90. It’s given that Nasir bought 9 storage bins. The original price for 1 storage bin can be found by dividing the total cost by 9 . Therefore, the original price, in dollars, for 1 storage bin is 909, or 10 .
