Answer:
[tex]\$16.625\approx \$16.30[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Original price = $17.50
Discount = 5%
Find the amount of discount (in dollars):
[tex]5\%=0.05\\ \\\$17.50\cdot 0.05=\$0.875[/tex]
Now, the sale price is
[tex]\text{Sale Price}=\text{Original Price}-\text{Discount}\\ \\\text{Sale Price}=\$17.50-\$0.875\\ \\\text{Sale Price}=\$16.625\approx \$16.30[/tex]
