Question

At the store, Austin picked out clothes that totaled $23. A prize from a contest gave him 15% off of that amount.

Answer 1

The Price of clothes after 15 % off is $ 19.55

Explanation:

Given as :

The price of clothes = $ 23

The discount as a prize given on price of clothes = 15%

So , The discounted price = $ 23 - 15% of $ 23

Or, The discounted price = $ 23 × (
`(100-15)/(100)` )

Or, The discounted price = $ 23 ×
`(85)/(100)`

Or, The discounted price = $ 23 × 0.85

∴ The discounted price = $ 19.55

Hence The Price of clothes after 15 % off is $ 19.55 Answer
