Question

Find the amount of discount when the original price is $65.00 and the discount rate is 5%.

Answer 1

Given:

original price = $65.00

discount rate = 5%

The amount of discount can be found by multiplying the discount rate by the original price. Hence:

`\text{Discount Amount = original price }*\text{ discount rate}`

Substituting the given values into the formula above:

`\begin{gathered} \text{Discount Amount = 65}*\text{ 5\%} \\ =\text{ 65 }*\text{ }(5)/(100) \\ =\text{ \$3.25} \end{gathered}`

Answer:

Discount amount = $3.25
