Answer:


Discount = \$19.98

Explanation:

Given


Amount = \$49.95


Price\ Off = 40\%

Required

Determine the discount

The discount is calculated by multiplying the price off by the original price:


Discount = Amount * Price\ Off


Discount = \$49.95 * 40\%

Convert % to decimal


Discount = \$49.95 * 0.40


Discount = \$19.98

Hence, the amount of discount is $19.98
