A camera store offers a discount of 5% off the cost of photo paper. The discount is applied before tax. A customer buys photo paper that costs $13.50 before tax. Which amount is closest to the cost of the paper with the discount before tax?​

Answer 1

the amount that nearest to the paper cost with the discount but before tax is $12.83

Hence, the amount that nearest to the paper cost with the discount but before tax is $12.83
