The new price of the sweater is $25.50.

Explanation:

To determine the new price, we need to calculate the amount of the discount.

x=30xx15/100

x=3cancel0xx15/(10cancel0)

x=3xx15/10

x=45/10

x=4.5

Since the original price was $30 and the discount amount is $4.50, the new price will be:

30-4.5=25.5
