$30.00
$17.85
$25.20
$7.65
To find the price of the sweater during the sale, you need to subtract the discount from the regular price.
Discount = Regular price * (Percentage off / 100)
Discount = $25.50 * (30 / 100)
Discount = $25.50 * 0.30
Discount = $7.65
Price during the sale = Regular price - Discount
Price during the sale = $25.50 - $7.65
Price during the sale = $17.85
Therefore, the price of the sweater during the sale was $17.85.
