Regular price: $8.49
percent ot discount 5%
discount: amount of money you can save (amount that is deducted from the original price),,
discount = %discount * original price
first convert 5% to decimal,, just move 2 places to the left of decimal point:
5% = 0.05
therefore,
discount = 0.05 * 8.49 = ?
0.4245

To calculate the discounted price, follow these steps:
1. Convert the discount percentage to a decimal by dividing it by 100. In this case, 5% can be written as 0.05.
2. Multiply the regular price by the decimal representation of the discount percentage.
Regular price: $8.49
Discount percentage: 0.05
Discount amount = $8.49 * 0.05 = $0.4245
3. Subtract the discount amount from the regular price to find the discounted price.
Discounted price = Regular price - Discount amount = $8.49 - $0.4245 = $8.0655
Rounded to two decimal places, the discounted price is $8.07.
