Answer:

$5.95

Explanation:

To get the discounted price, we need to find how much is taken off from the regular price.

x/8.50=30/100

30×8.50=255

255/100=2.55

$2.55

Next, we need to subtract $2.55 from $8.50 to get the discounted price.

8.50-2.55=5.95

$5.95

$5.95 is the discounted price.

I hope this helped! :)
