Question

A store advertises 15% off an item that regularly sells $300.what is the sale price off the item?

Answer 1

If you would like to know what is the sale price off the item, you can calculate this using the following steps:

15% of $300 = 15% * 300 = 15/100 * 300 = $45

$300 - $45 = $255

The new sale price is $255.

Answer 2

The original price of the item is said to be 100 dollars.
Now, it offers 15% discount. Let's solve for the dicounted price.
=> 15% = 0.15
Solution:
=> 300 * .15 
=> 45 dollars 
=> 300 dollars - 45 
=> 255 dollars
