Answer 1

Answer:

$\ 16.625\approx \ 16.30$

Step-by-step explanation:

Original price = $17.50

Discount = 5%

Find the amount of discount (in dollars):

$5\%=0.05\\ \\\ 17.50\cdot 0.05=\ 0.875$

Now, the sale price is

$\text{Sale Price}=\text{Original Price}-\text{Discount}\\ \\\text{Sale Price}=\ 17.50-\ 0.875\\ \\\text{Sale Price}=\ 16.625\approx \ 16.30$
