Felipe used a 40 percent off coupon on a single item at the craft store which saved him 16 point 4 2 dollars What would the item have cost if he had not used the coupon?

The coupon saved Felipe 40% of the item's original price, so $16.42 represents 0.40 of the price. Divide $16.42 by 0.40 to find the original cost: $16.42 ÷ 0.40 = $41.05. The item would have cost $41.05 without the coupon, which is choice C.
