Answer 1

`\$16.625\approx \$16.30`

Explanation:

Original price = $17.50

Discount = 5%

Find the amount of discount (in dollars):

`5\%=0.05\\ \\\$17.50\cdot 0.05=\$0.875`

Now, the sale price is

`\text{Sale Price}=\text{Original Price}-\text{Discount}\\ \\\text{Sale Price}=\$17.50-\$0.875\\ \\\text{Sale Price}=\$16.625\approx \$16.30`
