Answer :

Kelly wants to buy a pair of boots on sale, where the sale price is given by
[tex]$$
\text{Sale Price} = \text{Original Price} \times \frac{2}{3}.
$$[/tex]

Given that the original price of the boots is \[tex]$84.99, we substitute this value into the formula:

$[/tex][tex]$
\text{Sale Price} = 84.99 \times \frac{2}{3}.
$[/tex][tex]$

Performing the multiplication, we get

\text{Sale Price} \approx 56.66.
$[/tex][tex]$

Thus, the sale price of the boots is \$[/tex]56.66.
