A buyer receiving a 5% discount on a refrigerator that costs $1,850.00 pays how much?

• A. $1,800.00
• B. $1,757.50
• C. $1,750.00
• D. $1,680.00

Answer: (B)

To determine how much the buyer pays after receiving a 5% discount on the refrigerator that costs $1,850.00, first, we need to calculate the amount of the discount.

The discount can be calculated by multiplying the original price by the discount percentage. In this case, the calculation is as follows:

1. Calculate the discount:

[

\text{Discount} = \text{Original Price} \times \text{Discount Percentage} = 1850 \times 0.05 = 92.50

]

2. Now, subtract the discount from the original price to find the final price that the buyer will actually pay:

[

\text{Final Price} = \text{Original Price} - \text{Discount} = 1850 - 92.50 = 1757.50

]

Thus, after applying a 5% discount, the buyer pays $1,757.50.

This calculation confirms that the correct answer reflects the accurate discounted price after taking the calculated discount off the original amount.
