Riley has a loyalty card good for a 12% discount at her local pharmacy. What would her total in dollars and cents be, after the discount and before tax, if the total cost of
all the items she wants to buy is $17.50? Round to the nearest cent.

The cost after discount would be $15.40

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Discount card = 12%

Cost of items bought = $17.50

Amount of discount = 12% of 17.50

Amount of discount =

Amount of discount = 0.12 * 17.50

Amount of discount = $2.10

Cost after discount = 17.50 - 2.10

Cost after discount = $15.40

Hence,

The cost after discount would be $15.40
