To find the percent discount, we first need to calculate the amount of the discount.

Original price: $21
Discounted price: $19.53

Discount amount = $21 - $19.53 = $1.47

Next, we find the percent discount by dividing the discount amount by the original price and then multiplying by 100:

Percent discount = ($1.47 / $21) * 100 ≈ 7%

So, Suav is getting a 7% discount on the item.
