The regular price of a basketball was $29.50. The basketball was on sale for 22% off. How much was the discount?

First we divide it by 100 to get 1% of the original price, which is $0.295.
Then we multiply that by 22 to get 22% of the original price: $6.49.
The discount was $6.49, hope this helps!
