Answer:

Option c. 19.5%; $250

Step-by-step explanation:

In a sale, the price of a computer is reduced from $1280 to $1030.

The amount of the discount = $1280 - $1030 = $250

Now we have to calculate the rate of interest.

Percentage  = [tex]\frac{250}{1280}[/tex] × 100

                     = 0.1953125 × 100 = 19.53125

                    = 19.5%

The discount rate is 19.5% and the amount of discount is $250.00.

Option c. 19.5%; $250
