Question

How much will a girl pay for a bag price at $15 if a discount of 10% is offered?

Answer 1

First, calculate how much is the discount equal to. Then, substract the discount from the original price to find the selling price.

Since the discount is 10%, find how much is 10% of $15 by multiplying 15 times 10/100:

$15\times\frac{10}{100}=1.5$

Then, 10% of 15 is equal to 1.5. Now, substract 1.5 from 15 to find the final price:

$15-1.5=13.5$

Therefore, the girl will pay $13.5. The answer is:

$\text{ \ 13.5}$
