Answer 1

To find the final price of the donuts with the discount, we first need to find the amount of the discount.

7.5% of $5 is (7.5/100) x 5 = $0.375.

To find the final price, we subtract the discount from the original price:

$5 - $0.375 = $4.625.

Rounded to the nearest cent, the final price of the donuts with a 7.5% discount is $4.63.
