Discounts are used to reduce the original price of an item.

David will pay $25 and 92 cents for an item of $32, before tax

The discount (d) is given as:

[tex]d =19\%[/tex]

The price (p) of the item is given as:

[tex]p = \$32[/tex]

So, the amount (A) paid before tax is calculated using:

[tex]A = p \times (1 - d)[/tex]

Substitute known values

[tex]A = \$32 \times (1 - 19\%)[/tex]

Express percentage as decimal

[tex]A = \$32 \times (1 - 0.19)[/tex]

Subtract 0.19 from 1

[tex]A = \$32 \times 0.81[/tex]

Multiply 32 and 0.81

[tex]A = \$25.92[/tex]

Hence, David will pay $25 and 92 cents for an item of $32, before tax
