original price = $65.00
discount rate = 5%
The amount of discount can be found by multiplying the discount rate by the original price. Hence:
[tex]\text{Discount Amount = original price }\times\text{ discount rate}[/tex]Substituting the given values into the formula above:
[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{Discount Amount = 65}\times\text{ 5\%} \\ =\text{ 65 }\times\text{ }\frac{5}{100} \\ =\text{ \$3.25} \end{gathered}[/tex]Answer:
Discount amount = $3.25
