Q. Tyshawn has a loyalty card good for a discount at his local hardware store. The item he wants to buy is priced at $19 \$ 19 , before discount and tax. After the discount, and before tax, the price is $18.05 \$ 18.05 . Find the percent discount.\newlineAnswer:_____ % \%
  1. Identify Prices: Identify the original price and the discounted price.\newlineThe original price of the item is $19\$19, and the discounted price is $18.05\$18.05.
  2. Calculate Discount: Calculate the amount of discount by subtracting the discounted price from the original price.\newlineDiscount amount = Original price - Discounted price\newlineDiscount amount = $19\$19 - $18.05\$18.05\newlineDiscount amount = $0.95\$0.95
  3. Use Percent Formula: Use the percent discount formula, which is (Discount amount/Original price)×100(\text{Discount amount} / \text{Original price}) \times 100.\newlinePercent discount = (Discount amount/Original price)×100(\text{Discount amount} / \text{Original price}) \times 100
  4. Calculate Percent Discount: Plug in the values and calculate the percent discount.\newlinePercent discount = ($0.95/$19)×100(\$0.95 / \$19) \times 100\newlinePercent discount = 0.05×1000.05 \times 100\newlinePercent discount = 5%5\%
