To find out how much Joan paid for the sweater, we need to calculate the amount of discount she received during the 1/4 off sale.
First, let's calculate the discount amount:
Discount amount = (1/4) * Regular price
= (1/4) * $37.50
= $9.375
Now, to find out how much Joan paid for the sweater, we need to subtract the discount amount from the regular price:
Price paid by Joan = Regular price - Discount amount
= $37.50 - $9.375
= $28.125
Therefore, Joan paid $28.125 for the sweater, which can be rounded to $28.14.
