he orders 5 boxes of paperclips, that comes around to 77 dollars. That means he will get a 6.5 percent discount. So you would multiply 77 by .065 and you would get 5.005. You would take that number and subtract it by 77 and would get 71.995 and you can round that up to 72 dollars. My guess is that either 72 or 5.005 is the answer as 72 dollars is the price after the discount and 5.005 is how much he is saving
