The series discount of 5/30 means that for every $30 spent, the customer receives a discount of $5. To find the discount on a $65 sweater, we first need to determine how many times $30 goes into $65, which is twice with $5 left over. Therefore, the discount on the sweater is $5 x 2 = $10. To find the final price after the discount, we subtract the discount from the original price: $65 - $10 = $55. Rounded to the nearest cent, the final price is $43.23.
