Step-by-step explanation:

s=p−(p×d)

Where:

s

is the sales price: what we are solving for in this problem

p

is the original price: $49.99 for this problem

d

is the discount percent: 15% for this problem. "Percent" or "%" means "out of 100" or "per 100", Therefore 15% can be written as

15/100. Substituting and calculating

s gives: s =$49.99-($49.99×1510)

s=$49.99−$749.8100

s=$49.99−$7.4985   s=$42.4915    s=$42.49

rounded to the nearest cent.

The sales price of the video game is $42.49
