Question

If an item has a retail price = $1,995 and a discount of 15%, how much is the discount

Answer 1

Well if we are trying to find the discounted price..
then lets do this step by step

step 1
find out what 15% equals as a decimal
15% = 0.15

step 2
multiply $1,995 and the decimal.
$1,995 x 0.15 = $299.25

step 3
subtract $299.25 from $1,995
$1,995 - $299.25 = $1,695.75

So the discounted price is $1,695.75

Good luck! :)
