4 7/15
You can only add fractions if they have the same denominator, which in this case is the 15 and the 5. So you can't add the 1/5 and the 4/15 together just yet because its not the same denominator. Multiply 3/3 to 1/5 to get the same denominator as 4/15, and it would become 3/15 because whatever you do to the top, you do to the top. Add them together and you get 7/15, and then add the whole 4 and you get 4 7/15

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Strictly speaking, 15% isn't precisely the same as 0.15; 0.15 is the decimal fraction used to calculate 15% of some quantity.
15% of 52 is indeed 7.8. $7.80 is the discount that is to be SUBTRACTED from the regular price ($52). Adding $7.80 to $52 is incorrect.
Also, 52 + 7.8 - 59.8 is incorrect: it's not an equation (but should be one), and we should be subtracting $7.80 from $52.
