问题 A department store ran an advertisement in the paper, stating that 17% of the cost of a provided grocery bag of items would be deducted at the cash register. If an individual placed $180 worth of merchandise in the bag, what would be the discounted price of the items, before taxes(rounded to the nearest dollar)?

选项 A、$144
B、$149
C、$156
D、$163
E、$168

答案 B
