Question

A stadium's normal ticket price is $78. As a special promotion they offer 15% off. What is the price of the discounted ticket?

Answer 1

ANSWER: $66.30

WORK:
to find 15% off, multiply by 0.15.
78 x 0.15 = 11.7

note: this is the percent off, so it's subtracted to find the sale price. 

78 - 11.70 = 66.3
