Question

When trying to find the best deal for items, you should ____

Answer 1

The correct answers are:

D) all of the above; and

C) multiply the original price by 85%

Explanation:

When looking for the best deal, it is a good idea to check the prices of items at multiple stores. Some stores carry identical brands and items at different prices.

It is also a good idea to clip coupons. These offer an additional discount.

You should also wait for the item to go on sale, to save extra money.

When calculating a 15% off discount, we are paying 100-15 = 85% of the original price. This means to calculate the amount of the item once it's discounted, we take 85% of the original amount.
