She'll pay 90% of the original price ($6), so that'll be $5.40.

She'll pay $5.40 for the beads.

This is fairly easy to figure out, you take the original price ($6.00) and times it by the remaining percent. so your discount is 10%? then you take 100% and take away 10% leaving you with 90%, you then take the $6.00 and multiply it by the remaining percentage (90) so 6.00/0.9 and you get 5.4 or $5.40
