Answer:

[tex]\huge\boxed{\$1757.50}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find a 5% discount off $1850, we have to realize 100% of something is the whole thing.

This means that a 5% discount makes the new cost [tex]100-5=95[/tex]% of the original.

To find 95% of a number, we can convert 95% into a decimal and multiply it by 1850.

When converting a percent to a decimal, we always divide the percent by 100.

[tex]95 \div 100 = 0.95[/tex]

We can now multiply 1850 by 0.95.

[tex]1850 \cdot 0.95 = 1757.50[/tex]

So the buyer only pats $1757.50.

Hope this helped!
