Answer:


\huge\boxed{\$1757.50}

Explanation:

In order to find a 5% discount off $1850, we have to realize 100% of something is the whole thing.

This means that a 5% discount makes the new cost
100-5=95% of the original.

To find 95% of a number, we can convert 95% into a decimal and multiply it by 1850.

When converting a percent to a decimal, we always divide the percent by 100.


95 / 100 = 0.95

We can now multiply 1850 by 0.95.


1850 \cdot 0.95 = 1757.50

So the buyer only pats $1757.50.

Hope this helped!
