It is given the video game that sells for $249 is on sale for 15% off. Off means there is a reduction in price. The discount rate is 15%.

The Discount means reduction in price.

We need to find an expression that will help find the discount on $249,

Discount = 15% of 249

Percent is out of 100

15% =0.15

Discounted price = 15% of 249 =0.15 x 249.

Option C. 0.15 X249 is the right choice.
