A shirt was originally priced at $40. The store is having a 5% off sale. How much will you pay for the shirt after the discount

To calculate the discount amount, multiply the original price by the discount percentage: $40 * 0.05 = $2

Subtract the discount amount from the original price to find the final price: $40 - $2 = $<<40-2=38>>38
You will pay $38 for the shirt after the discount.
