Question

Mary is buying a dress that costs $46.00. She's receiving a discount of 15%. How much will Mary pay for the dress?

Answer 1

$39.10. 
First, you multiply the $46.00 by .15 (when converting the percentage to a decimal).
When multiplied, you get 6.90.
Lastly, subtract the 6.90 from the $46.00 to get $39.10
