The amount of the discount is $23.40.

The problem asks us to find the amount of the discount given a percentage discount on a known price. To do this, we use the formula for calculating a percentage of a number.

To calculate the discount amount, we need to find 18% of the original price, which is $130 per week.

We can start by calculating 18% of $130:

Discount = 0.18 * $130 = $23.40

Therefore, the amount of the discount is $23.40.
