1 percent is 18.50 and multiply that by 5 to get 5 percent and you get 92.50 subtract the amounts and you get 1757.5

Answer:

Explanation:

1) To figure out how much they'll pay, we have to figure out how much 5% of the refridgerator cost is. To do this, we multiply "$1850" by 5% or 0.05.

2) 1850 x 0.05 = 92.5, or $92.50

3) Since it's a discount, subtract $92.50 from $1850.00

4) They'll pay $1757.50
