• Discount Amount:

Solution:

To find the discount amount, we can use the following formula:

Discount Amount = Discount % of Marked price

In this case: Marked price is cost price

Substituting the values from the problem, we get:

`\sf \begin{aligned}\textsf{Discount Amount }&= 40\% * 13.00 \\\\ &= (40)/(100)* 13.00 \\\\ &= 0.4 * 13.00 \\\\ &= 5.2 \end{aligned}`

Therefore, the discount amount is 5.2.
