5 percent off 1658

Replacing the given values in formula (a) we have:

Amount Saved = Original Price x Discount in Percent / 100. So,

Amount Saved = 1658 x 5 / 100

Amount Saved = 8290 / 100

Amount Saved = $82.9 (answer).

In other words, a 5% discount for an item with an original price of $1658 is equal to $82.9 (Amount Saved).

Note that to find the amount saved, just multiply it by the percentage and divide by 100.

Using the formula (b) and replacing the given values:

Sale Price = Original Price - Amount Saved. So,

Sale Price = 1658 - 82.9

Sale Price = $1575.1 (answer).

This means the cost of the item to you is $1575.1.

You will pay $1575.1 for an item with an original price of $1658 when discounted 5%.

In this example, if you buy an item at $1658 with 5% discount, you will pay 1658 - 83 = 1575.1 dollars.

Using the formula (b) and replacing given values:

Amount Saved = Original Price x Discount in Percent /100. So,

82.9 = 1658 x Discount in Percent / 100

82.9 / 1658 = Discount in Percent /100

100 x 82.9 / 1658 = Discount in Percent

8290 / 1658 = Discount in Percent, or

Discount in Percent = 5 (answer).
