Explanation
With his employee discount, Joey purchases an item for 90% of its regular price, so 90% of the regular price of this item is equivalent to $99 or \(\frac{90}{100}x=99\).
Hence option E is correct. _________________

Given that Joey works at a clothing store and receives an employee discount of 10 percent off the regular price of any item and we need to find What is the regular price of an item that Joey purchases for $99
Let regular price be x => Joey gets a 10% discount on the price => Joey gets it for 100% - 10% = 90% of the price
=> Price paid by Joey = 90% of x = $99 => \(\frac{90}{100}\) * x = $99 => x = $99 * \(\frac{10}{9}\) = $110
So, Answer will be E Hope it helps!
