Answer:

14.04

Steps:

(19.50) / (100) x (28) = $5.46

($19.50) - ($5.46) = $14.04

Answer:

$14.04

Explanation:

100 percent minus 28 percent is 72 percent.

Use the cross multiply format so it looks something like this: 72/100 = ?/19.50

Multiply 19.50 by 72. You should get 1404

Divide by 100 to get 14.04. :)
