Question

A tennis shoes regularly sells for $20.00. The store advertises a 15% discount. What is the sale price of the necklace in dollars?

Answer 1

Shoes with discount = $17

Necklace = Price * 0.85

Explanation:

-If the tennis shoes store sells other things than shoes-

Shoes = $20.00

Discount = 15%

*Price expressed as a percentage*

Price without discount = 100%

Price after discount = 100% - 15%

Price after discount = 85%

*Normal price*

Price without discount = 20

Price after discount = 20 * 0.85

Price after discount = 17
