To solve for this word problem, keep in mind that when you have a discount off of a price, it means that the percentage of that price is taken off of the original price. To do this, first multiply 15% to 45 in order to find the amount of money taken off the original price. When you have a percent, convert it to a decimal before multiplying it so you would convert 15% to 0.15 (move the decimal left twice). When you multiply 0.15 to 45, you should get 6.75. Then, subtract 6.75 from the original price, 45 dollars and you get your answer as $38.25 for the suit with a discount. Hope this helps! :)
