6.5% is $2,762.50 off of the cost making the total before sales tax $39,737.50.

Step-by-step explanation:

The original price of the car is $42,500. A discount of 6.5% off can be found by converting 6.5 into decimal form as 0.065 and multiplying it by the price.

42,500(0.065)=2,762.5

This is the amount of dollars off the original price. We find the new discounted price by subtracting the discount from the original price.

42,500-2,762.5=39.737.5
