So if it cost $205.50, then to get a 5% reduction you first convert 5% to a decimal. Move the decimal two spaces to get

5%= .05.

To get how much is reduced, multiply the original price by the percent discounted. So,

205.50 x .05 = $10.275.

10.275 is the discount, in dollars, that you will get. To get the final price after discount.

205.50 – 10.275 =

$195.23

Not a big discount if you tell me
