Answer:

$13.30

Explanation:

This problem is asking you to find thirty percent of nineteen. So, after setting up the proportion and doing the cross multiplying, I found that the amount of the discount is five dollars and seventy cents.

Now that I have the discount price, I just needed to subtract that from the regular price. Nineteen dollars minus five dollars and seventy cents is thirteen dollars and thirty cents. The cost of the shirt on sale is thirteen dollars and thirty cents.

What is 30% of 19? ?/ 19 = 30/100 19 x 30 = 570 ÷100= 5.7. The discount is $5.70 $19.00-$5.70= $13.30. so the sale price is $13.30
