Question

A store advises 15% off an item that regularly sells for $300.a. What is the sale price of the item?

Answer 1

We have to discount 15% of $300.

First, let's find 15% of 300. Then, we subtract that amount.

15% as a decimal is:

15/100 = 0.15

Thus, 15% of 300 is:

$0.15\times300=45$

The discount amount is $45.

So, we need to subtract 45 from 300, we get:

$300 - $45 = $255

The sale price of the item is $255
