To find the price after the discount, find at first, the amount of discount then subtract it from the original price

Since the discount is 10% of $75, then

Change 10% to decimal by divide it by 100, then multiply it by 75


\begin{gathered} (10)/(100)*75=0.1*75 \\ =7.5 \end{gathered}

The discount is $7.5

Subtract it from $75 to find the price after the discount

The price after discount = 75 - 7.5 = 67.5

The price after the discount is $67.5
